Town of Burnsville, NC

Welcome to the Town of Burnsville Website

Burnsville is located in the mountains of Western North Carolina in the shadow of Mount Mitchell which has the highest peak east of the Mississippi River. This website is a source of information to our residents and visitors about our government and community. It will continue to grow and evolve to meet the needs of the community.

Governor issues EO 141, moving the State to Phase 2, effective 5pm on 5-22-20 and expires at 5pm on 6-26-20 unless repealed, replaced or rescinded.
