SB 46 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

Lincoln/Catawba Common Boundary Line.

SB 46 confirms the current boundary line between Lincoln and Catawba Counties - used for tax purposes and shown on county maps - as the official legal boundary. It requires the North Carolina Geodetic Survey to formally survey and map this line within 42 months (paid for by Lincoln County), and directs all future property records to be filed in the correct county based on this boundary. Existing records filed in the wrong county before the bill's effective date remain valid. The bill affects property owners, county governments, and tax administration in both counties by resolving boundary uncertainty for administrative purposes.
