HB 338 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

Town of Oak Island/Deannexations.

HB 338 removes 11 specific properties (listed by Brunswick County tax parcel IDs like 220NA002 and 220NA011) from the City of Southport's corporate limits. This change means property owners in these parcels will no longer pay Southport municipal taxes for tax years beginning July 1, 2025, or later. The bill also ensures existing city tax liens on these properties remain enforceable after the change. The measure takes effect June 30, 2025.

MODERATE
The bill was amended to change the municipality affected from the City of Southport to the Town of Oak Island. This revision aligns the bill's title, short title, and operative sections to reflect the correct jurisdiction for the property deannexation. The change ensures the legislation applies to the intended town rather than the previously listed city.
Scope change
The bill's scope changed from applying to the City of Southport to applying to the Town of Oak Island.
SCOPE

The short title was changed from 'City of Southport/Deannexations' to 'Town of Oak Island/Deannexations' to reflect the correct municipality.

The operative text in Section 1 was updated to remove property from the corporate limits of the Town of Oak Island instead of the City of Southport.

Section 2 was revised to reference liens of the Town of Oak Island rather than the City of Southport.

TECHNICAL

The term 'Parcel Identification Number' was changed to 'Parcel Number' in Section 1 for consistency with local tax office terminology.
