HB 532 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

County Service Districts/Research and Urban Research Service Districts.

HB 532 creates special districts in North Carolina called "Research and Production Service Districts" (for research parks) and "Urban Research Service Districts" (URSDs). It allows counties to establish these districts to provide services like utilities, parks, or transportation - beyond standard county offerings - financed through local taxes. Key provisions require counties to form advisory committees (with at least 10 members, including a developer representative), clarify multi-county district rules, and let developers act as agents to contract for services within the district. This directly affects counties, developers of research parks, and property owners in these designated zones.
