Definition
What this list counts.
Records whose owner's mailing address on the tax roll (where the tax bill goes) is outside North Carolina, read from its ZIP. Second homes, rentals and land look the same here.

What it can't say
Who lives there
North Carolina rolls carry no homestead flag in this data, so nothing here says whether the owner lives in the property.
What's counted
Complete records only
Only owner records with an owner, a property address with a house number, and a mailing address: the rows you can pull and trace. Government owners are left out.

How many North Carolina parcels have an out-of-state owner?
338,323 of the 4,247,384 complete North Carolina owner records (8%), in the 85 counties we offer, have a mailing address outside North Carolina on the tax roll. Government owners are left out.
Which North Carolina county has the most?
Of the 85 counties counted here, Mecklenburg County, with 34,293 records. Cabarrus County isn't in these counts yet.
Where is the share highest?
Among counties with at least 10,000 complete records, Dare County: 42% of its 35,695 records.
Does out-of-state mean the property is rented?
No. The filter reads the owner's mailing address on the roll and nothing else. Second homes, rentals and land look the same here, so don't assume either before you call.
