The law removes three Carteret County parcels from Morehead City: 638714442765000, 638714440096000, and 638714444512000. It also removes an 18.93‑acre tract from the City of Washington (per a May 2, 2023 survey). Both changes take effect June 30, 2026. If those properties were in the territory on January 1, 2026, they do not owe city taxes for tax years starting July 1, 2026 or later. The law also removes Forsyth County parcel 6896-04-9921 from Kernersville; this summary does not list its effective date.
