Submerged Lands Claims

The General Assembly in 1965 enacted legislation (G.S. § 113-205 and G.S. § 113-206) requiring registration of private claims to lands beneath navigable waters in 25 coastal counties. These maps contain recognized claims i.e. where a final claim resolution has been issued.

Original Claimant is a person claiming an interest to any part of the bed, or right of fishery, in navigable waters superior to that of the general public, who registered a claim pursuant to N.C. General Statute 113-205 on or before January 1, 1970. Claimants whose claims were recognized and mapped may have transferred their interest and no longer have an interest in the property. Land records in the county where the claim is located should be consulted to determine the present owner.
