HB 1058 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

Deannexations/Limit Certain Powers.

This bill removes three specific parcels of land from the Village of Walnut Creek's jurisdiction, meaning these properties will no longer be subject to municipal taxes starting in 2026. It also limits the village's authority to exercise city-level powers only within its current, contiguous boundaries, though existing development rules in the excluded areas will remain in place temporarily. Additionally, the law validates any property transactions the village completed before this change takes effect, ensuring those past actions are considered legal.

MODERATE
The bill was expanded from a single amendment for the Village of Walnut Creek to a comprehensive package covering four municipalities: Vass, Red Oak, Kernersville, and Walnut Creek. The new version removes specific property parcels from each town's corporate limits and limits the powers of the Village of Walnut Creek regarding areas outside its contiguous boundaries. This change broadens the legislative scope to address deannexation needs in multiple counties while maintaining the same effective date and tax implications for all affected areas.
