Raleigh is a city in Durham and Wake Counties, North Carolina. The Census Bureau puts its internal point at 35.831868, -78.641042 and its land area at 150.94 square miles. Septic permitting and record keeping happen at the county level, not the city level, which is why every figure below is attributed to the county and linked back to the county page it came from.

Our collection for Durham County, North Carolina is small, at 67 septic records. Treat it as a starting point for a Raleigh property rather than a search that settles the question. Of the parcels we have classified in the county, most are on septic rather than sewer (82,543 of 83,055). A property near Raleigh is more likely than not to have its own system. The county publishes a records portal that we were able to search without creating an account, which makes checking a specific parcel something you can do yourself in a few minutes.
