What shapes a project in Wilmington
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Older homes and newer growth
About 21 percent of Wilmington's housing units were built before 1960 and about 10 percent before 1940, while about 37 percent were built in 2000 or later. Fewer than half of occupied units are owner-occupied, per the 2024 American Community Survey.
Historic districts and protected trees
New Hanover County's Building Safety FAQ notes that in historic districts, exterior changes such as windows, doors, siding or roofing may require approval before work begins. It also notes that protected trees, especially live oaks, may require permits before removal.
Hot-humid coast and CAMA
New Hanover County is in climate zone 3A and classed as hot-humid on the Department of Energy's county map. It is also within the Division of Coastal Management's jurisdiction, with CAMA local permit officers in the county inspections department.
