NC S365

Local governments sharing planning and development regulation jurisdiction over a parcel may mutually agree to assign exclusive jurisdiction to one government, with written landowner consent and resolutions recorded with the register of deeds within 14 days.

Mutual agreements apply only to development regulations and do not affect taxation or other nonregulatory matters.

If no mutual agreement exists, the developer may choose which jurisdiction controls the entire project, including utilities, annexation for utility access, all proposed and future phases, and services.

The developer may enter into separate agreements with multiple jurisdictions for parts of the development only with permission from the controlling jurisdiction.

The act becomes effective upon passage.
