County animal control fees discussed by towns and sheriff
The county sheriff’s office took over animal control enforcement two years ago and proposed each town pay for extended coverage under the county ordinance. Fletcher would pay 24750 and Hendersonville 45277, with Flat Rock and Laurel Park at 10725 and 7505, all declining. Flat Rock officials later questioned why their town wasn’t included. Sheriff Davis has since resigned and Charlie McDonald is in office. Council members seek clearer proposals and more information.

Animal control costs in towns face county role shifts
Henderson County towns debate who pays for animal control as Laurel Park and Mills River weigh costs. Laurel Park backs county aid, while Hendersonville runs its own enforcement with city ordinances. Flat Rock considers hiring a deputy at 91000 annually to handle dog issues amid mixed county cooperation.
