The Beech Mountain Planning and Inspections Department interprets and enforces the North Carolina State Building Code and Beech Mountain Town Ordinances, including our Zoning Ordinance. The Department is staffed with the Building Codes Administrator, who is primarily responsible for building permits and construction related issues, and the Planner/ Zoning Administrator/ GIS Mapper, who serves as staff to the Planning Board, Tree Board, and Board of Adjustment and whose primary function is to create and recommend policies and programs to improve the overall character and quality of Beech Mountain.
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 Town Hall.
