Landowners can apply for grants to remove abandoned house trailers

By Lightning Reports, Published: July 9, 2024

Landowners in Henderson County with an abandoned manufactured home on their property are invited to apply for a grant to have the home removed, the county announced Tuesday.

The grant cycle is from July 1 of this year to June 30, 2025.  The grant will pay half the cost of demolition.  The winning demolition contractor has a base quote of $3249 so the owner match is $1625.  Cost is increased by weight over 10,000lbs, contents or additions.  For those applicants who have an individual annual income less than $40,000, Henderson County will pay the entire cost. To be considered for this grant an individual must apply.  The application can be downloaded here.

An application may also be obtained at 100 N. King St.  To apply contact Toby Linville at 828-694-6627 or tlinville@hendersoncountync.org.
