Owners who live elsewhere 8% of vacant lots have an owner mailing address outside North Carolina (most often OH, NY, SC) [1]
A census name, not a municipal one Myrtle Grove is a statistical census designation inside the old Federal Point and Masonboro townships; it has no mayor or council. Land-use authority sits with the county's Current Planning & Zoning division and CAMA Permit Program. [2],[3],[4]
Part of the CDP ties into CFPUA CFPUA's public water and sewer footprint covers part of mainland New Hanover County including stretches of Myrtle Grove, but the authority says its map of connected buildings can't confirm a specific vacant lot's own access. [5]
Otherwise, it's the county health department Outside a CFPUA line, New Hanover County Environmental Health is the permitting authority: $400 covers a well permit with its required site evaluation and bacteriological testing, and $400 plus a $200 construction authorization covers a standard septic layout. [6],[7]
A 1978 ordinance still governs flooding here Since Myrtle Grove has never incorporated, the county's 1978 floodplain ordinance for unincorporated land applies directly, with Building Safety enforcing building rules and County Engineering reviewing floodway grading and fill. [8]
A fast-growing CDP Myrtle Grove's 2020 census population of 11,476 was up 29.3% from 8,875 in 2010, among the faster-growing unincorporated places in the county. [2]
Masonboro Island Reserve This 5,653-acre dedicated nature preserve is bounded by the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway on its west side, directly across the water from Myrtle Grove; it was designated in 1991 and can never be subdivided or built on. [9]
Countywide tax calendar Like every parcel in the county, a Myrtle Grove tax bill went out September 1, 2026, and avoids any penalty or interest charge if paid by the following January 5, under the statewide framework NCDOR sets. [10],[11]

Pricing

What is a lot in Myrtle Grove 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 Myrtle Grove

A protected island sits across the water from this CDP

The Masonboro Island Reserve, a 5,653-acre dedicated nature preserve under state law G.S. 143B-135.250, is bounded by the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway on its west side, directly across the water from Myrtle Grove. Because it was designated in 1991 as part of the NC National Estuarine Research Reserve, that land can never be subdivided, bridged or developed. For an Intracoastal-facing lot in Myrtle Grove, that means the view and the water access across the channel are permanently fixed, which is a different kind of certainty than a lot facing land that could be developed later. Of the 450 vacant residential parcels counted here, 18% are third-acre lots, the single largest size group on the roll. [9],[1]

Utility access splits this CDP into two kinds of lots

Some Myrtle Grove parcels sit inside CFPUA's public water and sewer footprint; others don't, and the utility's own availability map can't settle the question for a specific vacant lot since it only tracks buildings already connected. A lot that falls outside the line needs New Hanover County Environmental Health approval instead: a $400 well permit covering site evaluation and testing, and a septic setup priced at a $400 improvement permit plus a $200 construction authorization. Knowing which category a lot falls into changes a builder's early-stage budget more than almost anything else about the parcel. [5],[6],[7]

There's no mayor or town council here, only the county

Myrtle Grove has never incorporated, so every land-use decision runs through New Hanover County rather than a town government. The county's Current Planning & Zoning division handles standard zoning questions, while its CAMA Permit Program steps in for work near the Intracoastal Waterway that falls inside an Area of Environmental Concern. Floodplain enforcement follows the county's 1978 ordinance for unincorporated land, split between Building Safety for structures and County Engineering for floodway grading and fill. A buyer here deals with one government, not two. [3],[4],[8]

Growth has pushed assessed figures up fast

Myrtle Grove's population grew almost 30% between the 2010 and 2020 censuses, and the county's tax roll reflects a place that has filled in: the median assessed value of vacant residential land here is $121,200, with the middle half spread between $67,300–$200,200. That's New Hanover County's reappraisal figure, not a market estimate, and it's billed on the same countywide September 1 due date as every other parcel in the county, with a grace window against penalty and interest through the following January 5, under the statewide property-tax framework the NC Department of Revenue sets. [1],[10],[11]

Common situations

Selling land in Myrtle Grove in these situations

You inherited a lot and never dealt with the county yourself

Yes. Because Myrtle Grove has no town government, whatever permitting history exists on an inherited lot would run through New Hanover County's Current Planning & Zoning division or its CAMA Permit Program, and the title company checks what's on file before closing. Heirs who live elsewhere can sign electronically and close by mail, with no need to travel here first. [3],[4]

Nobody's told you whether the lot has a utility connection

That's a fair question in this CDP. Parts of Myrtle Grove sit inside CFPUA's service footprint and parts don't, and the utility's own map only shows buildings already tied in, not vacant land. Where there's no connection, county Environmental Health permits a private well and septic system for a few hundred dollars combined, not thousands. Parcel Buyers checks utility status itself during inspection, so you're not required to sort this out before selling. [5],[6],[7]

You live out of state and have never visited

Yes. 8% of this Myrtle Grove scope's vacant lots show an out-of-state mailing address on the county roll, which tracks with how many New Hanover County owners never lived on a parcel they inherited or bought from a distance. The offer, title work and closing all happen without requiring a visit. [1]

Questions

Selling land in Myrtle Grove: common questions

Is Myrtle Grove its own town with its own permit office?

No. Myrtle Grove has never incorporated, so it falls under New Hanover County government rather than a town hall. The county's Current Planning & Zoning division handles zoning here, and its CAMA Permit Program covers coastal permits where needed.

Does my Myrtle Grove lot have access to water and sewer?

It depends where in the CDP the lot sits. CFPUA's footprint covers part of Myrtle Grove, but its availability map tracks connected buildings, not vacant land, so you'd need to ask CFPUA Development Services directly. Outside the line, the county permits a well for $400 and a septic improvement for $400 instead.

What is the protected island across the water from Myrtle Grove?

That's the Masonboro Island Reserve, a 5,653-acre dedicated nature preserve bounded by the Intracoastal Waterway on its west side. Designated in 1991 as part of the NC National Estuarine Research Reserve, it can never be subdivided or developed.

What floodplain rules apply to my Myrtle Grove lot?

Because this CDP sits in unincorporated territory, the county's 1978 floodplain ordinance governs it, not a town code. Building Safety reviews structure-related compliance, while County Engineering reviews grading and fill questions tied to the floodway itself.

Can I sell my Myrtle Grove lot if I live out of state?

Yes. Many Myrtle Grove parcels are held by an owner living well outside North Carolina. Parcel Buyers signs electronically and closes by mail through an independent title company, with payment sent by check or wire.

Guides for your situation

  • Water, Sewer, Septic, and Wells on Vacant Lots

    A vacant lot may use public water, a private well, public sewer, or an onsite septic system, but nearby pipes and neighboring homes do not prove what the parcel can use. Ask each utility for a written availability decision, ask the permitting office whether connection is mandatory, and obtain a qualified site evaluation before saying septic will fit. Keep every response, permit, plan, test, and receipt.

  • 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]

  • How to Sell Land in a Flood Zone

    Flood-zone land can be sellable and sometimes buildable. A FEMA flood zone describes mapped risk; it is not a building permit. The buyer must verify the current effective Flood Insurance Rate Map and any map changes, then ask the local floodplain administrator what elevation, floodway, coastal, permit, and design rules apply.[1][2][4] Vacant land itself is not covered by an NFIP policy; flood insurance covers qualifying buildings and contents, not land value.[5][6]

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) Myrtle Grove CDP boundary (GEOID 3745840). 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.
