Wake Surfing Safely

Chamber Passed·5/7/25

Wake Surfing Safely Act clarifies nonconformities in land development regulations.

The Wake Surfing Safely Act amends North Carolina's land development regulations to clarify nonconformities. It defines nonconformity and outlines procedures for claiming vested rights. The act ensures that nonconforming uses, structures, or lots can continue unless intentionally discontinued for 24 months. It also specifies conditions for removing nonconforming off-premises outdoor advertising signs and requires monetary compensation for such removals. The act applies retroactively to December 11, 2024, and affects any nonconformity existing on or after that date.
