Land Records - Buncombe County (2024)

I need to know the location of my property lines, can I use the property information on the GIS site to find them?

No, our data is not survey grade data and should only be used as a reference. Our data should not be used to locate lot lines, property corners, settle boundary disputes etc. We advise landowners to refer back to your deeds and plats, and to consult a professional land surveyor to locate property lines if needed.

Why isn't the easem*nt to my property shown on the GIS site?

Land Records does not map any kind of access or utility easem*nts.

My relative has deceased and the tax bill is still in their name, what do I need to do?

Why is the acreage on my bill different than the acreage on my deed or survey?

You can actually own more land than can be taxed, the most common case is when a property boundary crosses a public road. However if you are being taxed for more or less acreage than you feel like you should be, please let us know and we can research and address the issue if needed.

I viewed my property on the GIS site and I believe the mapping is inaccurate, can you fix it?

Yes, our department needs to know so that we can correct any mapping issues. Contact Land Records, below, with your address and/or PIN and allow for a few weeks for a mapper to address the problem. Also, please keep in mind that the taxable acreage for your parcel may increase or decrease when we adjust parcel boundaries.

I recombined or subdivided a parcel this year, why does my tax bill have the old parcel information?

If a plat or deed that is intended to subdivide, recombine, or adjust acreage was recorded after January 1, the bill for the parcel in question will still reflect the prior year's information. Your new bill for the next year will be updated to reflect the changes you have made after January 1.

After I recombined or subdivided a parcel, I sold it this year, why did I receive a bill?

The same rules apply here as they did if you didn't sell the parcel. You will still receive the bill and it is up to you, and the new owners of the property to prorate and pay the tax bill for that parcel.

I recorded a subdivision plat, when can I get my new Parcel Identification Numbers?

We review subdivision plats for the prior week each Monday. Please allow 5-10 business days for these parcels to be mapped and have a PIN assigned. The new lots will be visible on the GIS site or Discover Buncombe the next morning.
