Building Permits Update:

Chimney Rock Village coordinates all Building Permits with the Rutherford County Building Inspection Department. This includes Flood Zone Management. Any property owner, prior to contacting the County Inspection Department, should get a Zoning Approval Letter from Mr. Stephen Duncan, Zoning Administration for the Village. Send an email with your name, contact information, property address and the purpose of your construction directly to tevierides@aol.com. All fees are waived at this time for Zoning Reviews. Stephen will review and if there are any questions, will contact you directly. Once approved, Stephen will notify the Rutherford County Building Inspection Department of the approval and you will be ready to make application for appropriate Building Permits with that office.
