Building permits for Asheville

APD Accident Data Pedestrians, Locations and Cyclists

This dataset includes all building inspections from 2000 to the present. Each building inspection record is identified by a unique “record_id” attribute that corresponds to an associated permit record. Please note that the City of Asheville launched a new permitting system in November 2013. Consequently, there are some inherent differences between records before and after the launch of the new permitting software. Building Permit Inspections

North Carolina Effective Flood zones: In 2000, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) designated North Carolina a Cooperating Technical Partner State, formalizing an agreement between FEMA and the State to modernize flood maps. This partnership resulted in creation of the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program (NCFMP). As a CTS, the State assumed primary ownership and responsibility of the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) for all North Carolina communities as part of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). This project includes conducting flood hazard analyses and producing updated, Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMs). Floodplain management is a process that aims to achieve reduced losses due to flooding. It takes on many forms, but is realized through a series of federal, state, and local programs and regulations, in concert with industry practice, to identify flood risk, implement methods to protect man-made development from flooding, and protect the natural and beneficial functions of floodplains. FIRMs are the primary tool for state and local governments to mitigate areas of flooding. Individual county databases can be downloaded from https://fris.nc.gov Updated Jan 17th, 2025.

The Asheville Zoning Districts layer is maintained with the City of Asheville Planning & Urban Design Department. In 2020, Conditional Use Zoning was added to the dataset.

The source of Employee Demographic data is an employee self-reported system in our City of Asheville ERP software (Tyler Technology - Munis). Employees self-identify for Race and Ethnicity.

This polygon dataset is the official Zoning map of Buncombe County. Zoning is the classification of land into districts, with each district placing restrictions and regulations on the type of uses and development allowed in the district. This dataset only includes County zoning, and does not include any zoning within incorporated municipalities such as within the City of Asheville or Town of Weaverville. For information about zoning inside of a city or town, please contact those municipalities directly. For more information http://gisdownload.buncombecounty.org/County_Zoning.htm

The view will have data starting January 01, 2018 through December 2020.* Incident_type is filtered to: “Use of force” type_force_used is filtered to: show all that are not Null subject_injury replaces Subject Condition with Null, Conditions are: Mentally Unstable, None Detected, Unknown, Use of Alcohol, Use of Drugs, Use of Alcohol & Drugs.As of November 2020, the Asheville Police Department updated the department's use of force policy to include not only when force was used, but also when force was shown. A show of force is defined as a gesture with a lethal and/or less-lethal weapon directed at a person as a means to coerce or gain compliance. A use of force is defined as any physical strike, instrumental contact with a person, or any physical contact that restricts the movement of a person and does not include the application of handcuffs with no resistance. Because of the updated policy, we have created a new dataset for Use of Force data after January 2021.
