🗺️ 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.

For help confirming the location of a specific property, contact the Town of Zebulon Planning Department at planning@townofzebulon.org

📱 The sign with the QR code connects you to the Wander app. The app helps you explore parks, trails and experiences throughout Zebulon and Wake County. When location services are enabled, it can also show your current location and its unique what3words address.

📍 The emergency-location sign identifies an exact spot on the trail. The three words printed on the sign are the what3words address for that specific location. If you need emergency assistance near the sign, call 911 and read those three words to the telecommunicator.

If you move away from the sign, your location’s what3words address will change. Open the Wander app to find the three words for your current location and share them with 911.

The Town of Zebulon has been notified that it will be included on the North Carolina Local Government Commission’s (LGC) Fiscal Year 2025 Unit Assistance List. The LGC recently announced that it is taking a more consistent approach to applying its Unit Assistance List criteria to local governments, regardless of size. Zebulon is among several larger local government units being added to the FY 2025 list. The notification states that the determination is based on a review of the Town’s Fiscal Year 2025 audited financial statements and other information related to financial health and fiscal management practices. It does not specify which factors led to Zebulon’s inclusion on the list. The Town has reached out to the LGC for additional clarification and information. The Town has already been working to strengthen its financial management practices and internal controls, and that work is continuing. The LGC’s Coach Team is expected to work with the Town in the coming weeks to establish monitoring requirements, provide additional information and identify specific areas that may require attention. The Town will work closely with the LGC throughout the process and will continue to keep the community informed. ###
