Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.
Longer airport leases for Asheboro and RDU
Asheboro can lease city airport property for up to 40 years; renewals and extensions count, and anything longer is treated as a sale. The RDU airport authority can make leases and contracts for up to 40 years, charge fees, and use leases to secure loans. These rules apply to agreements made, renewed, or extended after the law takes effect. The law also repeals Chapter 867 of the 1989 Session Laws.
New limits on Taylortown building freezes
Taylortown must hold four hearings before any commercial moratorium: two at the usual meeting place and two in the affected area. All four must be within 30 days of the final hearing. The town may impose only one 60‑day moratorium and cannot renew or extend it. Any current commercial moratorium is void. No part of the first moratorium area can be in another moratorium for five years.
One Asheville parcel leaves city limits
The parcel with Buncombe County Tax PIN 966773980500000 is removed from Asheville on June 30, 2025. City liens and special assessments already on the parcel still can be collected. Property in the described area as of January 1, 2025 is not subject to Asheville municipal taxes for taxable years that begin on or after July 1, 2025.
School choice and voter update after boundary
Students in areas moved by the Catawba–Lincoln boundary can stay in their current school system until high school graduation. The two school boards must make this work. After July 1, 2025, election boards must transfer voter registrations for people now in the other county. Once transferred, those voters are registered in the new county.
New Catawba–Lincoln line and records rules
The Catawba–Lincoln county line now matches the 2020 census TIGER/Line map, effective June 30, 2025. After that date, you must record property papers in the county where the land now sits; older records in the other county stay valid. The counties must record a free Notice of Affected Parcel in both deed offices with owner name (as of June 30, 2025), address, parcel ID, and a short description. Any state-delivered boundary survey that conflicts with the 2020 map is not binding on these counties. The counties and their officials are protected from liability tied to actions under the prior line.
Wake County pauses town ETJ growth
In Wake County, municipalities cannot expand their extra‑territorial jurisdiction beyond what they had on January 1, 2025. This pause applies only in Wake County and lasts until December 31, 2028. Land‑use control stays with the current lines during the pause.
