Buyer’s guide
Buying land in North Carolina
North Carolina stretches from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the coast, with strong job growth around Raleigh, Durham and Charlotte drawing new residents into nearby rural counties.
What to know before you buy
- Zoning. Rules vary by county, and some rural areas are unzoned. Check setbacks and whether manufactured homes are allowed.
- Septic. The county health department issues a septic permit after evaluating the soil. Ask early, because it can decide where a home can go.
- Taxes. Farm and forest land may qualify for present-use value, which taxes the land on its current use and lowers the bill.
- Flood and wetlands. Coastal and low-lying parcels deserve a careful look at FEMA flood maps.
