Planning & Inspection
The Beech Mountain Planning and Inspections Department interprets and enforces the North Carolina State Building Code, Beech Mountain Town Ordinances and the Sedimentation and Erosion Control Program. The Department is staffed with one Inspector/Zoning Administrator, who also serves as staff to the Planning Board and Board of Adjustment. Some of the common local code issues include posted street addresses, screened l.p. gas tanks, garbage bins, tree cutting permits and smoke detectors and fire extinguishers in rental housing.
It is our goal at the Town of Beech Mountain to always provide the highest level of service while striving to keep Beech Mountain a great place to live, visit, and play. If the Planning and Inspections Department can be of any assistance to you please don’t hesitate to contact us at (828) 387-4236 or visit us in the second floor of the Town Hall building.
