In North Carolina, streets that are outside of city, town, or village limits are maintained by either a private Home or Property Owners' Association or the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). Pender County does not administer or maintain roadways or ditches along roadways.

For roadway maintenance questions, please reach out to the NCDOT Maintenance Engineer for Pender County. Contact information can be found at this link.

For questions about public roadways outside of town or village limits, please contact the NCDOT Division 3 or NCDOT District 1.

To view a map of roads maintained by NCDOT, visit NC One Map.

To report a road issue, you can:

  • Contact NCDOT online at NCDOT.gov/contact

To report a missing or damaged road sign on a state-maintained road, please use the Road Sign Replacement Form through Pender County Facilities and Fleet.

Please note: Private roads are not maintained by NCDOT or the County. In most cases, these roads are the responsibility of Homeowners Associations (HOAs) or the property owners themselves. This includes maintaining ditches and storm drains.
