Important Property Information

This lot is confirmed buildable under Neighborhood Residential zoning and is approved for a single-family home or cabin. Mobile homes are NOT permitted on this parcel. RV living is NOT allowed. Farm animals are NOT permitted.

Building on this parcel requires moving through two sequential approval steps. First, a Zoning Compliance Certificate must be obtained from the Town of Fair Bluff's Land Use Administrator before any building permit can be processed. Second, a Building Permit must be secured — plans must identify the proposed use, the principal party, and include all engineering blueprints before work may begin.

Because the lot is within the active Fair Bluff city limits, zoning compliance and municipal utility tie-ins are handled directly through the town. Physical construction permits and field inspections are managed by Columbus County. Key contacts:
