State and County Boundaries

This link takes you to the Search Land Records tool.

State and County Boundary relocation is the responsibility of the NC Geodetic Survey. When a county boundary is unclear, they can do a survey to relocate those boundaries, but will only do so upon the request of all affected counties, who must then adopt the surveys provided by the state.

Likewise, efforts to resurvey state boundaries must be done with the cooperation of the adjoining state. The survey and monumentation of the boundary between North Carolina and South Carolina was completed in 2016. Work toward relocating and monumenting the boundary with Virginia is anticipated to be next.
