HB 1009 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

Planning Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Prohibited.

HB 1009 prohibits cities from exercising planning and development regulation outside their corporate limits. The bill amends state statutes G.S. 160D-201 and G.S. 160D-202, eliminating provisions that allowed cities to establish and manage extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). This change means that authority for land-use planning and development regulation in areas immediately surrounding cities would fall exclusively to county governments. The bill directly affects cities, counties, and landowners in these areas by redefining which local government body has zoning and planning control.
