Why Homeowners Choose Tyris in Montgomery County
Montgomery County has more custom home builders than most counties its size, and any serious buyer will compare two or three before choosing. What makes Tyris different:
- Award history. 3x NRVHBA Builder of the Year (2015, 2016, 2022), 3x Bath of the Year, and 2x Best New Home. These are peer-recognized awards from the New River Valley Home Builders Association, decided by other Montgomery County builders and industry members.
- Owner-on-every-project. Jason White founded Tyris in 2006 and personally oversees every custom build in the county. You are not handed off to a project manager running six jobs at once.
- County-wide experience. We have built in Blacksburg, Christiansburg, Elliston, Shawsville, Riner, and Prices Fork. We know how Town of Blacksburg planning-commission review differs from unincorporated Montgomery County zoning, which Christiansburg neighborhoods have HOA constraints, and which rural roads are and are not paved and plowed.
- Local relationships. Our subcontractors, surveyors, and suppliers are the same people we have worked with for years. That translates into fewer delays, better pricing, and higher-quality work.
Building in Montgomery County: Zoning and Planning Notes
Montgomery County, Virginia includes two incorporated towns (Blacksburg and Christiansburg) plus a large unincorporated area. Zoning, setbacks, and the planning-review process differ meaningfully between them:
- Town of Blacksburg has its own zoning ordinance and Planning Commission. Height limits, setbacks, and design review are more restrictive than the surrounding county, particularly in older residential zones and near the university.
- Town of Christiansburg has its own zoning as well, with growing residential subdivisions on the north and west sides that trigger specific site-plan requirements.
- Unincorporated Montgomery County (Elliston, Shawsville, Riner, Prices Fork, Merrimac, Long Shop) is governed by Montgomery County zoning, which is generally more flexible for larger rural lots. Well and septic siting, driveway permits, and floodplain considerations still apply.
We plan around these differences from day one so the design, the schedule, and the budget are calibrated to the specific lot and jurisdiction you are building in.
