Winston-Salem landowner questions

How do I know if city water and sewer reach my Winston-Salem or Forsyth County lot?

I don't treat a hydrant or a nearby line as proof that city water and sewer reach your Winston-Salem or Forsyth County lot. Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Utilities confirms whether that parcel can connect. A Forsyth County lot can sit on a well and septic instead. On the free site evaluation I check which path your parcel is on. Call 336-509-2640.

Is my lot under City of Winston-Salem zoning or Forsyth County?

It depends on the parcel, not the mailing address. Lots inside Winston-Salem follow the city's zoning. Lots in unincorporated Forsyth County follow county zoning. The City-County Planning Division is the joint office that staffs both. I look that up on the free site evaluation and tell you which rules set the use and the setbacks. Call 336-509-2640.

What if my lot is in a flood zone?

A flood zone on a Winston-Salem or Forsyth County lot does not by itself stop the build. It shrinks the ground you can put a house on, and the floodway is the part that has to stay clear. I check the flood zone on the free site evaluation and tell you what buildable ground is left. Call 336-509-2640.

Do I need a survey before I build?

I recommend a boundary survey before you build. Corner markers get moved, and fences rarely follow the property line. Easements for utilities, drainage, and access live in the deed and the survey, not on the zoning map. The free site evaluation looks at setbacks and access, and a survey is what shows the lines those checks sit on. Call 336-509-2640.

What does your free site evaluation cover?

On a free site evaluation I walk your Winston-Salem or Forsyth County lot with you. I check zoning and setbacks, utilities or a well and septic, the flood zone, slope, and 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.
