Asheville building & ADU permits
Recent permit activity, updated continuously.
Asheville publishes its permit records under a public-domain (PDDL) license, one of the cleaner open-data sources Igni tracks. The city allows accessory dwelling units, and its permit system files attached and detached ADUs as their own record types, so ADU projects are identified at the source.
Igni is tracking 200 residential and building permits in Asheville, NC — including 4 classified accessory-dwelling-unit (ADU) filings. The most active ZIP is 28803. The most recent filing Igni tracked was Sep 25, 2026. All records come from City of Asheville GIS (ArcGIS), an official government open-data feed, and are refreshed continuously.
