🗺️ Do I live within the Town of Zebulon?
It’s a question we hear often. A Zebulon mailing address does not always mean your property is located within the Town’s corporate limits.
The 27597 mailing area includes parts of four counties: Wake, Johnston, Nash and Franklin. Mailing addresses are used for postal delivery and do not determine Town residency, municipal boundaries or which local government serves a property.
The Town’s Residential Map shows the corporate limits, Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, fire district, property boundaries and current and approved residential subdivisions. Here’s what each boundary means:
🔴 Zebulon Corporate Limits: These are the Town’s official boundaries. Properties within the corporate limits are subject to Town property taxes and receive applicable Town services. People who live within these boundaries are Town of Zebulon residents and may vote in Zebulon municipal elections if they are registered and otherwise eligible. The Zebulon Police Department’s primary jurisdiction is within the corporate limits. Areas outside the Town limits are generally served by the sheriff’s office in the county where the property is located, although law enforcement agencies may assist one another when needed.
🩷 Zebulon ETJ: The Extraterritorial Jurisdiction is outside the corporate limits but within the Town’s planning jurisdiction. Properties in the ETJ may be subject to certain Town planning and development requirements, but they are not within the Town limits.
🟡 Zebulon Fire District: The designated fire service area. The fire district extends beyond the Town limits, so receiving fire protection from Zebulon does not necessarily mean your property is within the Town.
🏘️ Residential Subdivisions: The map also identifies current and approved residential subdivisions. Some approved subdivisions may be under construction or may not have started construction.
Understanding these boundaries can help you know which government to contact, which services may be available and which requirements may apply to your property.
