§ Property Lookup

Is your property inside the proposed boundary?

Type a street address. We will check it against the boundary the petitioners published on their map dated 20 May 2026. The result is an approximation. For an authoritative answer, check Cumberland County GIS.

Each search is logged anonymously so we can track which areas are most concerned. We do not link addresses to identities.

Your address on the boundary

Streets and place names from OpenStreetMap, light tiles from CartoDB. The red outline is the boundary. Your address is shown as a soft halo, not a sharp pin. The halo is placed near your address, intentionally offset by about a block, so this page never displays the exact location of your home. The classification (inside or outside) is based on your real geocoded coordinates, but the visible marker is fuzzy. Smaller faded dots show recent lookups by other residents, rounded to a ~500m grid for the same reason.

 

About this tool · tap to expand

This lookup uses the petitioners' own published boundary, imported from their GIS KMZ file. The polygon has 672 vertices and follows the rules they describe: south of I-95 (with a carve-out around Hope Mills near exit 41), west of the Cape Fear River, north of the Bladen County line, and east of the Robeson County line. We refresh this polygon whenever the petitioners publish a revised boundary.

Edge cases: properties right at the boundary may classify wrong. Verify against Cumberland County GIS if it matters.

Geocoding: free public U.S. Census Geocoder. Your address is sent to geocoding.geo.census.gov to be converted to coordinates. No API key or login.

What we log: each search is recorded with the geocoded result and timestamp so we can understand where concern is concentrated. We do not link your address to your identity, do not share addresses, and do not display them publicly.

If the result is "inside"

You would be a resident of the new Town of Gray's Creek if the petition passes the General Assembly and a subsequent referendum. You would be subject to any municipal property tax the new town council adopts, on top of the Cumberland County tax you already pay. See The Case for the full set of consequences.

If the result is "outside"

The incorporation does not directly add a municipal tax to your bill, but can still affect you through county service realignment, mutual-aid coverage, or future annexation. The petitioners have not ruled out future annexation.
