Build on Your Land in Stokesdale, NC

I build on owners' lots in Stokesdale and nearby northwest Guilford County. NC GC License L.99646.

Can I build on my own land in Stokesdale?

Yes. If you own a lot in Stokesdale or nearby northwest Guilford County, I can walk it with you. I'm Nara Bakthisaran, a licensed North Carolina general contractor (L.99646). The free site evaluation checks zoning, town water or a well, the septic site, flood zone, slope, and driveway access. Call 336-509-2640.

What I check on your lot

Stokesdale has its own Development Ordinance and Planning Board, so I check Town of Stokesdale zoning for a lot inside town limits and Guilford County zoning for a lot outside them. The town has no public sewer, so a house there needs a septic system permitted through Guilford County Environmental Health. I also check town water or a well, the flood zone, slope, and access.

Land due diligence guides

Before you close on a lot in Stokesdale, read whether your lot is buildable, the perc test, septic permits in Guilford, Forsyth, and Davidson, well permits in Guilford, Forsyth, and Davidson, and city water and sewer vs. well and septic. If you already own the land, the free site evaluation is still the next step.

Stokesdale landowner questions

Does my Stokesdale lot have town water, or do I need a well?

Maybe. The Town of Stokesdale runs its own water system, but it serves limited areas inside the town limits. Many Stokesdale lots use a private well instead, permitted through Guilford County Environmental Health. I check which applies to your parcel on the free site evaluation. Call 336-509-2640.

Is there sewer in Stokesdale, or do I need septic?

Plan on septic. The Town of Stokesdale does not have a public sewer system, so a new house needs an on-site septic system. Guilford County Environmental Health does the soil evaluation and issues the permit. The town's own land use plan notes clay soils and creek floodplains that are hard on septic, so I look at the septic site first.

Is my lot under Town of Stokesdale zoning or Guilford County?

It depends on the parcel, not the mailing address. Lots inside the town limits follow the Town of Stokesdale Development Ordinance. A lot outside the limits with a Stokesdale address follows Guilford County zoning. I look that up on the free site evaluation and tell you the use and the setbacks.

What does your free site evaluation cover in Stokesdale?

On a free site evaluation I walk your Stokesdale lot with you. I check zoning and setbacks, town water or a well, where a septic system could go, the flood zone, slope, and driveway access. I'm Nara Bakthisaran, licensed North Carolina general contractor L.99646, and you deal with me directly. I tell you what the lot can hold. Call 336-509-2640.
