Haywood County extends appeal deadline for substantial-damage determinations
Summary
Haywood County announced a 90-day extension to the timeframe for property owners to appeal substantial-damage determinations, giving residents additional time to assemble repair estimates and appraisals and providing Development Services contact information for assistance.
Chair Kevin announced an extension to the appeal period for property owners who received substantial-damage letters: residents now have an additional 90 days beyond the original timeframe to appeal the county's determination.
Kevin instructed homeowners to obtain a repair-cost estimate from a North Carolina-licensed contractor and, if contesting value, to supply an appraisal from a North Carolina-licensed appraiser; he emphasized insurance-company estimates are not acceptable for permitting or appeals and provided the county Development Services contact number, (828) 452-6682, for questions.
The extension aims to accommodate delays in insurance claims and property appraisals following widespread storm damage; staff said the additional time should allow homeowners to collect the documentation necessary for appeals and permitting.
