Wrightsboro vacant land facts
Vacant residential lots 791 parcels classified vacant residential on the 2026 North Carolina parcel and assessment data [1]
Most common lot size Half-acre lot (19,000–24,000 sq ft): 14% of vacant lots; next, mini-estate (2-3 acres) at 10%. Median lot: 0.49 acre (21,550 sq ft). [1]
Typical county assessed value $100,000 median county assessed value for a vacant lot; the middle half fall between $64,500 and $143,000 [1]
Recent lot sale prices Too few county-qualified vacant-lot sales in 2025 to report a reliable median for Wrightsboro [1]
Owners who live elsewhere 10% of vacant lots have an owner mailing address outside North Carolina (most often NY, FL, TX) [1]
Unincorporated, county rules Wrightsboro is a census-designated place, not a town or city. New Hanover County's Current Planning & Zoning division and its CAMA Permit Program, not a town hall, handle zoning and coastal permits here. [3],[4]
Wilmington's airport sits here Wilmington International Airport (ILM) is physically located in unincorporated Wrightsboro, just north of the city. New Hanover County owns it and leases it to the Wilmington Airport Authority to run. [2]
Water and sewer coverage varies CFPUA's main system reaches much of mainland New Hanover County, but its map of active service does not cover vacant lots. A Wrightsboro buyer should confirm a specific lot can tap in with CFPUA Development Services. [5]
Well and septic where there's no tap Where CFPUA service is not available, New Hanover County Environmental Health permits private wells ($400, covering site evaluation and a bacteriological sample) and septic systems ($400 improvement permit plus a $200 construction authorization). [6],[7]
Floodplain rules for the unincorporated county New Hanover County adopted floodplain regulations for unincorporated areas like Wrightsboro in 1978. Building Safety enforces the building-related parts; County Engineering handles floodway grading and filling. [8]
How the area grew Wrightsboro grew around Tinga Nursery, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. The CDP's 2020 population of 5,526 was up from 4,896 in 2010. [11]
Countywide tax calendar The county tax office, not a town, sends the yearly bill here too: 2026 taxes came due September 1, 2026, and the county waives penalty and interest on payments made by January 5, 2027, under the statewide framework NCDOR sets. [9],[10]
Half-acre lot 14% Mini-estate (2-3 acres) 10% Sliver / remnant 9% Standard city lot 8% All other sizes 59%

Pricing

What is a lot in Wrightsboro 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 Wrightsboro

An airport is a neighbor here, not just a nearby amenity

Wilmington International Airport physically sits inside unincorporated Wrightsboro, not inside the city whose name it carries. New Hanover County owns the airport and leases it to the Wilmington Airport Authority to operate it. A vacant lot near the airport can face different noise, height or approach considerations than land elsewhere in the county, which a buyer should check against the specific parcel rather than assume from the area's overall 791-lot tax-roll count. Most of that count is half-acre lots, 14% of the total, so it is mostly compact to mid-size residential land, not airport-adjacent commercial acreage. [2],[1]

Know which side of the CFPUA line a lot falls on before you budget

CFPUA's distribution network stretches across much of the mainland county, yet the authority is upfront that its availability map tracks occupied structures, leaving a vacant parcel's status an open question until someone calls CFPUA Development Services directly. Fall outside the line and New Hanover County Environmental Health becomes the permitting path instead: $400 for a well (site evaluation and bacteriological testing included), and $400 plus a $200 construction authorization for a standard septic layout. Getting that classification wrong before closing is the kind of mistake that throws off a builder's whole budget. [5],[6],[7]

Every approval here routes through one county office or another

There has never been a Wrightsboro town hall, so land-use authority sits entirely with New Hanover County. Current Planning & Zoning fields the standard zoning questions, the CAMA Permit Program steps in near any mapped Area of Environmental Concern, and the county's 1978 floodplain ordinance for unincorporated territory gets enforced jointly by Building Safety and County Engineering depending on whether the issue is the structure or the floodway itself. A buyer coordinates with the county, full stop, not a mix of county and municipal staff. [3],[4],[8]

Acreage near a growing airport still carries a steep tax-roll figure

Despite sitting outside any town limits, land here assesses high: the county roll puts the median value of vacant residential parcels in this Wrightsboro scope at $100,000, spanning $64,500–$143,000 across the middle half. That's New Hanover County's reappraisal number, not what a buyer would pay or a market listing price. The same roll bills this land each September 1, with the county waiving penalty and interest on anything paid by the following January 5, under the property-tax framework the NC Department of Revenue sets for every county. [1],[9],[10]

Common situations

Selling land in Wrightsboro in these situations

You inherited acreage near the airport

Yes. An inherited Wrightsboro lot can be sold whether or not anyone ever applied for a county permit on it. Because Wrightsboro has no town government, New Hanover County's Current Planning & Zoning division and CAMA Permit Program are the only offices that would have been involved, and the title company checks what, if anything, was ever filed. Electronic signing and a mail-away closing work for heirs who live elsewhere. [3],[4]

You don't know whether the lot sits on CFPUA or well and septic

Plenty of owners here don't know either. CFPUA's footprint covers much of the surrounding area, but the authority's own tools only confirm service to buildings already standing, leaving a vacant parcel unresolved until someone checks directly. If there's no tap, county Environmental Health steps in with well and septic permitting priced in the hundreds of dollars, not thousands. That question is one Parcel Buyers resolves during its own inspection, so it's not something you need to chase down before you sell. [5],[6],[7]

You live out of state and have never visited

Yes, and it's common. 10% of the vacant lots counted in this Wrightsboro scope have an owner whose mailing address sits entirely outside North Carolina. Parcel Buyers handles that the same way regardless of distance: a written offer, title review, and a closing you can complete without setting foot in New Hanover County. [1]

Questions

Selling land in Wrightsboro: common questions

Is Wrightsboro its own town with its own permit office?

No. Wrightsboro is an unincorporated census-designated place. New Hanover County's Current Planning & Zoning division handles zoning, and the county's CAMA Permit Program issues coastal permits where they apply; there is no separate town hall.

Does my Wrightsboro lot have access to water and sewer?

Call CFPUA Development Services and ask about your specific parcel; their coverage map only confirms service to buildings that are already connected, not raw land. If the lot falls outside the line, New Hanover County Environmental Health issues a well permit for $400 and a septic improvement permit for $400.

Does living next to Wilmington International Airport affect my lot?

It can. The airport physically sits inside Wrightsboro, owned by New Hanover County and operated by the Wilmington Airport Authority, so nearby parcels can carry height, noise or approach considerations that land further away would not. We check a lot's specific position before making an offer.

What floodplain rules apply to my Wrightsboro lot?

New Hanover County's floodplain regulations, adopted in 1978 for the unincorporated county, apply here. The county's Building Safety Department enforces the building-related portions, and County Engineering handles floodway grading and filling questions.

Can I sell my Wrightsboro lot if I live out of state?

Yes. A lot of owners here hold acreage they've never visited, whether inherited or bought years ago from a distance. We handle the paperwork electronically and close by mail, with payment sent by check or wire.

Guides for your situation

  • 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]

  • Can You Sell Land With a Lien?

    Yes. Land with a lien can often be sold, but signing a deed does not by itself erase a valid claim. The lien may need to be paid, released, discharged, or otherwise resolved under the law that applies. With the seller's consent, an approved payoff can come from sale proceeds at closing. If the balance or lien is wrong, dispute it before closing and require proof of the cure.

  • 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.

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) Wrightsboro CDP boundary (GEOID 3775780). 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.
