Following heavy rain and resulting water damage Sunday night, the Pender County Register of Deeds and Tax Office have relocated from the Howard Holly Building to the former Health Department building at 803 S. Walker Street in Burgaw.

E-recording, tax bill payments and appeals services remain available. Staff are working to make the new location fully operational, and residents needing in-person assistance are encouraged to call ahead before visiting.

Most services are expected to be fully restored by the end of the day Wednesday, July 15.

The County will assess the damage to the Howard Holly Building and determine the long-term location of both offices.

Thank you for your patience as staff work through this transition.
