NC H1009

Prohibits all North Carolina cities from exercising planning and development regulation jurisdiction (zoning, subdivision regulations, etc.) outside their corporate limits, eliminating extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) statewide

Requires cities to relinquish ETJ authority by January 1, 2026, with county regulations taking effect within 60 days of relinquishment or upon county adoption of replacement regulations, whichever is sooner

Preserves vested rights for property owners who obtained permits or approvals under city ETJ regulations, allowing them to exercise those rights after jurisdiction transfers to the county

Repeals all local acts granting cities extraterritorial planning jurisdiction and removes ETJ-related provisions from multiple statutes governing zoning notices, agricultural exemptions, outdoor advertising, stormwater control, and building codes

Explicitly maintains law enforcement extraterritorial jurisdiction under existing statutes, ensuring police authority outside city limits is unaffected by the bill
