Pulls cost 0.5¢ a record after signup; your 100 free records trace the owners.
Counted October 2026. Government owners are left out. Request Data shows the same counts, free, up to 200,000 per count.
What's in it
What North Carolina data says, and what it doesn't.
From NC OneMap parcels (North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis): each county's own parcel data, republished by NC OneMap on the county's schedule, in one statewide format. Guilford and Onslow counties' records come from each county's own parcel layer; Orange County's property addresses come from the county's address points.
Complete records
Owner, house, mailing
A record counts only with an owner, a property address that starts with a house number, and a mailing street with a 5-digit ZIP: the rows you can pull and trace. Government owners are left out.
Out-of-state
Where the mail goes
The owner's mailing address on the tax roll is outside North Carolina, read from its ZIP. Second homes, rentals and land look the same here.
Not in North Carolina data
No homestead flag
Nothing here says whether an owner lives in the property, so there's no absentee filter for North Carolina. Many rolls also carry no property type or year built.

Only complete records are counted, priced and pulled: owner, a property address with a house number, and a mailing address. Each county’s share of complete rows is on the statistics page. Source: nconemap.gov. Guilford and Onslow counties' records come from each county's own parcel layer; Orange County's property addresses come from the county's address points.

How many North Carolina property owners can I pull?
4,247,384 complete owner records (owner, property address with a house number, mailing address) across the 85 North Carolina counties Request Data offers, counted October 2026. 338,323 of them (8%) have a mailing address outside North Carolina and 676,618 (16%) have a company or trust name as owner. Government owners are left out.
Which North Carolina county has the most records?
Of the 85 counties Request Data offers, Wake County, with 400,818 complete owner records. Cabarrus County isn't in these counts yet.
Which North Carolina county has the most out-of-state owners?
Of the 85 counties Request Data offers, Mecklenburg County, with 34,293 records whose owner's mailing address is outside North Carolina. Cabarrus County isn't in these counts yet.
Can I get a North Carolina absentee owner list?
Not by homestead: North Carolina rolls carry no homestead flag in this data, so Tracer can't say whether an owner lives in the property. What it can filter is where the owner's mail goes: Out-of-state (a mailing address outside North Carolina), plus company owners and owners of 3+ parcels.
What counts as single-family in North Carolina?
A parcel whose county use description says single family (townhouses and row houses too); a roll that only says Residential, like Wake's, isn't counted. Each county writes its own use descriptions, and many say only "Residential" or nothing at all; there the Single family filter counts almost nothing, and Request Data says so.
Why isn't my county here?
Request Data offers the 85 North Carolina counties whose rolls in the state's data carry enough complete records; the other 15 don't yet (Cabarrus's rows in the state's data carry no property street, for one). Tell us the county you need and we'll say what we hold.
How do I get a list for one North Carolina county?
Create a free Tracer account, open Request Data, pick North Carolina and the county, and turn on Out-of-state or set Owner type to Companies only. You see the count and the price before you pull, at 0.5¢ a record (a count tops out at 200,000; narrow a big county with the filters, or by city where its roll has property cities), and the records go straight into skip tracing.
