Applications Accepted for Housing Repair Program
Yancey County is in the process of applying for a $400,000 grant to implement a Scattered Site Housing Rehabilitation Program. Every three years each county in North Carolina, with the exception of Wake and Cumberland, is eligible to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding from the North Carolina Division of Community Assistance to develop a Scattered Site Housing Program. The program provides funding for housing repairs to low-income homeowners. Homes selected for the program must be brought up to current building codes, and could possibly be eligible for replacement with a new mobile home.

Tax Payment Drop Box
For the convenience of Yancey County Taxpayers, the Tax Collections Office has placed a payment drop box near the front entrance of the courthouse at the top of the sidewalk. Directions for drop box payment are posted at the location. Envelopes are provided inside the drop box for payment by check. Please do not deposit cash.
Don't throw away your Christmas tree!
Yancey County recycling and convenience centers will accept Christmas trees to be recycled. Trees must have all ornaments, tinsel, lights, hooks and wires removed prior to disposal at the center. Residents are encouraged to drop off trees in the designated areas at any of the county's community recycling centers until January 14, 2012. Trees can also be taken to the Yancey-Mitchell Transfer Station off of Highway 80 North.
DO NOT LITTER! If the collection centers are closed, either due to the holiday or inclement weather, do not leave your trash at the gate or enter the facility. You can be issued a citation for littering. |
