Source: NC OneMap parcels (North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis) (nconemap.gov), each county's own parcel data, republished by NC OneMap on the county's schedule. Rutherford County’s roll in this data carries little or no year built (under a quarter of its records), so that filter counts almost nothing here. North Carolina rolls carry no homestead flag in this data, so nothing here says whether the owner lives in the property.
