Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

7 provisions identified: 6 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Asheville parcel removed from city taxes

The Buncombe County parcel with Tax ID 966773980500000 is no longer inside Asheville’s city limits as of June 30, 2025. The owner does not pay Asheville city taxes for tax years starting on or after July 1, 2025. Any city tax liens or special assessments from before June 30, 2025 still apply and can be collected.

RDU airport can sign longer contracts

RDU Airport Authority can enter leases and contracts without the old 40‑year term cap. The change applies to contracts and leases made, renewed, or extended after this law takes effect. This can support larger, longer‑term airport investments.

Catawba–Lincoln line set and filings

Starting June 30, 2025, the legal county line between Catawba and Lincoln follows the 2020 TIGER/Line map. Your property may now be in a different county, which can affect your county taxes and services. From that date, file deeds and other property papers in the county where the property now lies. The counties must record a free Notice of Affected Parcel with owner names (as of June 30, 2025), address, parcel ID, and deed source. Records filed before June 30, 2025 stay valid where they were filed.

New limits on Taylortown building pauses

In Taylortown, the town must hold four hearings on different dates before any commercial building moratorium. It can impose only one 60-day pause and cannot renew it. The same area cannot face another moratorium for five years. Existing Taylortown commercial moratoria end when this law takes effect.

Longer leases at Asheboro Municipal Airport

The City of Asheboro can lease airport property for up to 40 years. Add‑on renewal or extension periods count toward the 40 years. Any lease over 40 years must follow property sale rules. A prior local law from 1989 is repealed.

Voting and school changes after boundary

If you live in the affected areas, your voter registration moves to the new county right after July 1, 2025. Students affected by the change may stay in their current school system through high school graduation, starting June 30, 2025. The counties submit the new boundary to the U.S. Census for 2030. Catawba and Lincoln counties and their officials are protected from lawsuits tied to using the current line.

Wake County city zoning reach frozen

In Wake County, cities cannot extend their extraterritorial zoning areas beyond what they had on January 1, 2025. This freeze lasts through December 31, 2028.
