Local data
What is land in Tyrrell County 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.
| Vacant residential lots | 1,006 parcels classified vacant residential on the 2026 North Carolina parcel and assessment data [1] |
|---|---|
| Most common lot size | Mini-estate (2-3 acres) (70,000–140,000 sq ft): 12% of vacant lots; next, half-acre lot at 9%. Median lot: 0.81 acre (35,280 sq ft). [1] |
| Typical county assessed value | $14,800 median county assessed value for a vacant lot; the middle half fall between $8,200 and $22,900 [1] |
| Recent lot sale prices | Too few county-qualified vacant-lot sales in 2025 to report a reliable median for Tyrrell County [1] |
| Owners who live elsewhere | 25% of vacant lots have an owner mailing address outside North Carolina (most often VA, FL, NY) [1] |
| Scuppernong River | North Carolina's state park service places Pettigrew State Park in Washington and Tyrrell counties, naming the Scuppernong River among its features. The river runs past Columbia into Albemarle Sound; a lot near it needs its own flood and drainage check. [8] |
| Coastal Area Management Act county | State law puts Tyrrell on the list of 20 North Carolina counties covered by the Coastal Area Management Act. A shoreline, wetland or sound-front project can need its own CAMA permit through the Division of Coastal Management, regardless of county permitting. [4] |
| Deeds and old land grants | The Tyrrell County Register of Deeds online portal lists deeds, deeds of trust, maps, leases, agreements, powers of attorney and old land grants among its recorded documents. A title review should start with that record, not the tax card alone. [5] |
| Septic and well permits | On-site wastewater (septic) and private-well permits here run through Martin-Tyrrell-Washington District Health, a three-county agency. With no county sewer reaching most of this land, its soil review can decide whether a lot is buildable at all. [6] |
| Flood zone review | FEMA's Flood Map Service Center is the official place to look up a flood zone; FEMA says a high-risk zone carries at least a one-in-four chance of flooding over 30 years. Low terrain near the sounds and rivers here makes that check worth doing early. [7] |
| Property-tax enforcement | North Carolina sets September 1 as the county tax due date; miss January 5 and the bill starts drawing a 2% charge for January, then three-quarters of 1% every month after that. A lien left unpaid can go to court foreclosure under state law. [2],[3] |

How selling land works in Tyrrell County
Start with the Tyrrell County parcel record
In Tyrrell County, the parcel number, acreage and county assessed value on the tax record are only the first layer of a land review; the deed and plat behind that record matter just as much. The published vacant-land dataset counts 1,006 parcels, a median of 0.81 acres and a median county assessed value of $14,800, but that is a dataset summary, not a finding about access, soil or title on any one tract. 73% of owner records carry a North Carolina mailing address and 25% carry another U.S. address; a mailing address says nothing about where someone actually lives or whether they want to sell. For legal description, easements and prior conveyances, the Register of Deeds record is the authority, not the tax card. [1],[5]
Check CAMA, flood and septic status before you count on a lot
Tyrrell sits on Albemarle Sound, and state law puts it on a short list of 20 North Carolina counties where the Coastal Area Management Act applies, so sound-front, river-front or wetland ground can trigger its own CAMA review from the Division of Coastal Management, apart from whatever permit the county requires. A flood-zone lookup through FEMA's Flood Map Service Center is the next step; FEMA itself warns that a high-risk designation can carry at least a one-in-four chance of flooding across a 30-year mortgage. Wastewater is the third piece: with no county sewer system reaching most of this land, Martin-Tyrrell-Washington District Health is the agency that decides whether a given lot's soil will support a septic system or a private well. None of these three questions can be answered from the tax record alone. [4],[7],[6]
Taxes, deeds and title need their own look
North Carolina law fixes the county tax due date at September 1; a bill still open on January 5 starts drawing interest, 2% for that first month and three-quarters of 1% for each one after, and a lien that goes uncollected can be foreclosed through the courts. A figure from last year's bill is not a safe number to rely on, so get today's payoff from the tax office directly. Old land grants, deeds, deeds of trust, maps, leases, agreements and powers of attorney all live in Tyrrell's Register of Deeds record, and that record, not the parcel ID, is where a buyer's title search has to begin. [2],[3],[5]
A direct sale is one option
An owner in Tyrrell County does not have to order a survey, clear the lot or finish a septic permit before asking for a direct sale. Before any offer goes out, we check the parcel's utilities, access and title ourselves. The written offer comes with no obligation attached, there is no seller fee or commission, and we cover closing costs. The land inspection is our only contingency, and nothing is owed if it fails. Closing happens through an independent, licensed title company, usually about 10 days after signing, depending on title, and sellers can sign electronically, close by mail and get paid by check or wire.

Questions
Selling land in Tyrrell County: common questions
How many vacant parcels does the Tyrrell County dataset cover?
The number is 1,006: that's the published vacant-land dataset's total, with a median size of 0.81 acres and a median county assessed value of $14,800. It is not a count of every buildable lot or a value for any one tract.
Is Tyrrell County subject to CAMA permitting?
Yes, Tyrrell is one of them. The Coastal Area Management Act names 20 North Carolina counties, Tyrrell included, where shoreline, wetland or sound-front work can trigger its own CAMA permit from the Division of Coastal Management on top of whatever the county requires.
Does a Tyrrell County lot qualify for a septic system or private well?
It depends on the soil, and it needs its own permit either way. Martin-Tyrrell-Washington District Health handles on-site wastewater and private-well permits for Tyrrell County; lot size alone does not predict the outcome.
Will Tyrrell County's assessed value match what you're offered?
No. That figure is a tax-roll number used to calculate the property tax bill, not an appraisal of the land. We weigh access, flood zone, septic feasibility, title and other facts tied to the specific parcel when we make an offer.
What happens if Tyrrell County property taxes go unpaid?
A bill still open on January 5 starts drawing interest: 2% that first month, then three-quarters of 1% every month after, and state law lets the county pursue court foreclosure on a lien that stays unpaid. Call the tax office for a current payoff rather than relying on an old bill.

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]
- How Cash Land Buyers Price Offers
A cash-land offer may start with verified sales of land with similar use, then adjust those sales for meaningful differences.[1] Buyers may also account for access, utilities, legal use, size, shape, flood and soil questions, title issues, demand, and costs and risk they will carry. No universal assessed-value percentage applies. Compare each written offer by expected net proceeds, contingencies, seller work, and timing—not one asking price or headline number.
- 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 all parcels in Tyrrell County. 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.
