Owners who live elsewhere 29% of vacant lots have an owner mailing address outside North Carolina (most often VA, SC, FL) [1]
Village government and permits A separate municipal government runs the island: the Village's Development Services Department requires a permit before any building, structure or service system is touched, and most homes also answer to a property owners' association on top of that. [2]

Gas vehicles are not the normal way around Gas-powered golf carts are prohibited on Village streets, as are ATVs, gators and similar side-by-sides. Residents and builders rely on electric golf carts, trams and bicycles instead. [4]
Village-run water and sewer The Village itself operates water and sewer: 29 miles of distribution lines, capacity to produce 360,000 gallons of water a day, 400,000 gallons of storage, and 1,169 sewer connections, about 75% on grinder pumps. [5]

Pricing

What is a lot in Bald Head Island worth?

These are county-qualified sale prices. A direct cash offer is usually lower, because a cash buyer closes in days and takes on the time and cost of reselling the lot.

What moves the price in Bald Head Island

Quarter-acre lots dominate the tax roll here

Inside the Census TIGERweb Bald Head Island town boundary, GEOID 3703150, sit 748 vacant lots at a median 0.24 acre, or 10,590 square feet. quarter-acre lots alone make up 62% of that total, an unusually concentrated size mix compared with a typical mainland town. This is a tax-roll measurement, not a for-sale list or a buildability finding. [1]

No bridge means every project starts on a boat

A passenger ferry from Deep Point Marina in Southport, about 3 miles across the Cape Fear River, is how people reach the island; building materials and most contractors travel the same way or by barge. That extra leg of logistics, absent on any mainland Brunswick County lot, shapes construction costs here more than acreage or location inside the island ever would. [3]

The Village writes its own rulebook

NC DEQ certified a Bald Head Island-specific CAMA Land Use Plan on May 22, 2008, separate from Brunswick County's and from every other town in the county. The Village's own Development Services office enforces it alongside permit review for any construction, and it manages 14 miles of shoreline directly with groins, nourishment and structures like geotextile groins and jetties. Most homes also answer to a property owners' association on top of all of that. [8],[6],[2]

Assessed value, a January deadline and an island of absentee owners

Brunswick County's reappraisal sets the median assessed value here at $90,000, middle half $75,000–$140,000, a tax-office figure, unrelated to a sale price. The county's tax year runs without interest through January 5, after which enforced collection can start. 29% of the vacant lots counted here already carry a mailing address outside North Carolina, which tracks with an island where almost nobody lives full time. [1],[9]

Common situations

Selling land in Bald Head Island in these situations

You've never crossed the river to see the lot

No visit required. 29% of Bald Head Island's vacant lots already carry an out-of-state mailing address, so owning from a distance is the norm here, not an exception. Send whatever paperwork exists and we'll handle the rest; the only contingency is our own inspection, and a failed one costs the seller nothing. [1]

Nothing's been submitted to CAMA or the Village yet

That is not required before a sale. The Village's 2008 CAMA plan and its Development Services review govern what a future owner can build, not whether this lot can change hands today. If you already have a survey or past Village correspondence, pass it along; otherwise we'll confirm the rest ourselves. [8]

The Village taxes or dues have lapsed

A lapsed bill doesn't stand in the way of a sale. Brunswick County taxes are due without interest through January 5, and the amount owed, Village or county, can be paid directly out of your closing proceeds, with your consent, instead of settled beforehand. [9]

From your first message to money in hand, with nothing left out. Requesting an offer costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

See every detail of the process

  1. Tell us about your land

    Fill out the short form (about 60 seconds) or email us. A land specialist reaches out to confirm the details, usually the same business day.

  2. Get your cash offer within 24 hours

    We review the property and send a written, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours. It is a real number, not a range. Take it or leave it, with no pressure either way.

  3. Sign electronically

    If you accept, everyone signs the purchase agreement electronically. There is nothing to print or mail at this stage.

  4. We inspect, the title company verifies

    Our team inspects the land and an independent title company runs a title search for liens or taxes owed. If the land does not pass inspection, you are never charged anything.

  5. Close and get paid

    The title company prepares the closing documents for notarization and issues your funds by standard check, overnight check, or wire transfer. A typical sale closes in 10 days.

Questions

Selling land in Bald Head Island: common questions

How does a contractor even get building supplies onto the island?

By ferry from Deep Point Marina or by barge; there's no bridge. That three-mile crossing over the Cape Fear River is baked into every construction timeline and budget here.

Why can't I just drive a regular car around the island?

Village rules prohibit gas-powered golf carts, ATVs, gators and similar vehicles on its streets. Electric golf carts, trams and bicycles are what everyone actually uses to get around.

Does my lot need a CAMA or Village setback review before I sell?

Not to sell, only to build. The Village's own CAMA plan, certified in 2008, and its Development Services office would review that at the construction stage, which is separate from today's sale.

Why is my assessed value so different from recent island prices?

It's set on Brunswick County's own reappraisal cycle, not a live market read. This page's median is $90,000, middle half $75,000–$140,000, a tax figure, not a price.

Can I sell if my taxes are behind?

Yes. Brunswick County taxes run without interest through January 5; after that, interest and enforced collection can follow. Either way, back taxes can come out of your closing proceeds instead of needing to be paid first.

Guides for your situation

  • Selling Land With Boundary or Survey Problems

    Land with a boundary or survey problem can still be offered for sale, but closing may depend on how the buyer, lender, and title insurer handle it. The contract and closing requirements determine whether a survey is needed. A fence does not by itself establish the record boundary. A survey can identify gaps, overlaps, occupation lines, and encroachments; a competing Florida title claim may require a quiet-title action.[1][6][7]

  • Can You Build on a Vacant Lot?

    Maybe. A vacant lot is buildable only if the proposed use fits the rules that apply to that parcel and the site can satisfy access, utility, environmental, and permit requirements. Start with the local planning or zoning office, confirm that the parcel is a legal lot, and get a written parcel-specific answer. A zoning label or tax parcel number alone is not approval to build.[1][2]

  • Documents Needed to Sell Vacant Land

    If your paper deed is lost, start with a recorded copy from the local land-records office; Miami-Dade, for example, provides certified deed copies online, by mail, or in person.[1] Then ask the closing professional for a transaction-specific list. Common starting items include parcel information, accepted identification, prior title or survey records, and authority papers for an entity, trust, estate, or power-of-attorney owner. Do not order a new survey until the closer confirms it is needed.

Nearby areas we buy

How we made this page

Parcel Buyers is a land-buying company based in Florida. We buy vacant land directly from owners and publish these local pages so owners can see what land in their area is doing before they sell, to us or anyone else. We count the tax-roll figures ourselves from state data, take local rules and fees from the official sources listed below, and use AI tools to help research and draft the text. Every number links to its source, and we update the page when the data changes.

Method and sources

Parcel and assessment figures cover parcel points inside the Census (TIGERweb ACS 2025 vintage) Bald Head Island town boundary (GEOID 3703150). Source [1] is our own aggregate count of NC OneMap parcel points or frozen county extracts and the county sale layers named in the source data. Vacant-lot counts use nC has no statewide vacant code. Legacy wave-1 rows retain the frozen county-extract rules in DATA-NOTES-NC.md. The NC2 rule keeps records with improvement value 0, parcel value at least $1,000, known acreage no more than 10, struct not Y, and an owner name that does not match the government, HOA/common-area, church, conservation or utility exclusions. If more than 10% of the pre-struct scope has struct Y, the area uses its verified explicit vacant code or is dropped. Counts do not establish physical vacancy, residential zoning, access, legal-lot status or buildability. Names and addresses are not stored in outputs. Lot sizes use gIS acres on the extract (else record acres, else the parcel polygon area) x 43,560, bucketed with the Parcel Buyers lot sizing chart ([low, high) square feet). Values use county assessed value on the extract from each county's last reappraisal, which is not the same year in every county. Owner locations use owner mailing-address state on the extract; in_state = North Carolina. Junk state codes count as unknown, Canadian provinces as foreign. Onslow's extract carries no mailing state, so Onslow areas report in_state, other_us and foreign as not published (unknown 1.0). Treat medians as a guide to county records, not as an offer or an appraisal. Page updated November 7, 2026.
