Buncombe County · tax and property-record information
Start here for county tax and property-record information. Use assessment records for assessed-value questions and the tax lookup for an account balance. The portal does not certify whether taxes are paid or currently due, so confirm a balance with the county before relying on it.
Buncombe County · recorded deeds, plats, and land documents
Use the Register of Deeds for recorded deeds, plats, and other recorded land documents. This is the recorded-document route, separate from county tax balances and court-file questions.

Buncombe County · court and estate-record routing
For a court filing, judgment, or estate-record question, contact the Clerk of Superior Court for the right court-record route. A courthouse contact listing is a starting point; it does not decide an estate-specific venue or who may sign a sale document.

City of Asheville · permits, inspections, and development services
Use Development Services for City permit, inspection-record, and development-services questions. Check the property address against the City limits lookup first; an Asheville mailing address alone does not establish that the property is inside the City’s permitting jurisdiction.

North Carolina sale rule
For a taxable real-estate deed transfer, North Carolina charges an excise tax of $1 for each $500 of the price or value; any part of $500 counts as a full $500. State law assigns payment to the seller before the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt. Ask your closing professional to confirm the calculation and whether an exemption applies to your specific transfer.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including North Carolina's excise tax on conveyances. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
