What happens next
- Tell us about the fire damage, access, and the property. You can call or send the address through the form.

Local safety, permit, and county contacts
Do not enter a fire-damaged structure if the responsible officials say it is unsafe. Follow current directions from emergency responders and utility providers. Before cleanup, repairs, or demolition, ask the City of Burlington Inspections Department which permits or inspections apply to the property and work; do not assume a particular permit or transfer inspection is required.
- City of Burlington Inspections Department — building-permit and inspection contact route; 425 S. Lexington Ave., Burlington.
- Alamance County Tax Department — county tax inquiry route.
- Guilford County Tax Department — county property-tax contact route.
- Guilford County Register of Deeds — county real-estate recording and search route.
Burlington includes territory in Alamance and Guilford counties. For a specific house, confirm which county it is in through the relevant county's tax or record system; a citywide boundary does not identify an individual parcel's county.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Compare the repair scope and contractor estimates you actually have with your insurer's claim information, mortgage requirements, any permit or inspection steps, the time and costs of holding the house, and written sale terms. Use property-specific numbers where you can; a generic repair estimate will not tell you what your house will cost to restore.
The Burlington calculator lets you compare possible sale proceeds using your own assumptions. Treat the result as an estimate, not a property-specific offer.
