Asheville building permits, September 28–October 4, 2026

Public notice. Asheville’s public permit map service lists 54 building permits with a record-opened date from September 28, 2026, through October 4, 2026. This file counts by record-opened date, so some of these may not be issued permits yet.

Record types on the layer include Com: Demo (7), Com: Alterations (6), Res: Alterations (3), Stand Alone Sign (3), Res: Site Work (3), Res: Bldg Repair-Replace (3). Broader type buckets: Residential (26), Commercial (18), Sign (3), Fire (3), Over The Counter (2). Subtypes: Existing Building (16), Demolition (9), Accessory Structure (8), Site Work (4), Stand Alone (3).

Status on the open file is early-pipeline heavy: Plan Check (32), Pending Applicant Action (9), Application Received (7), Issued (2), Closed (2). Only a handful show Issued or Closed in this pull — a reminder that “opened” is not the same as “hammer swinging.”

Residential and commercial rows both appear, with demolitions, alterations, accessory structures, and site work in the subtype mix. That matches a Buncombe County city still sorting storm recovery, tourism-season commercial work, and hillside residential repairs.

For Asheville readers, the useful habit is to re-check status on the city’s portal a week later. Many Plan Check rows will move; some will stall waiting on applicant action.
