The city is part of Wayne County, North Carolina, which means parcel data comes from the county, especially near Fremont. Goldsboro is also the county seat, which puts the Register of Deeds close by. Near Pikeville, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the city limits near Seven Springs usually answers to county rules instead.
Using it on a phone

Limits of the parcel data
