Greenville has a large rental market around the university and the hospital, older neighborhoods near downtown, and areas along the Tar River that have flooded in past hurricanes. Tired landlords, inherited houses, and storm-affected properties are the situations we hear about most.

How Greenville and Pitt County are organized

The Pitt County Register of Deeds records deeds and plats for property in the county. The Pitt County Tax Administration office handles assessment and collection; properties inside Greenville, Winterville, Ayden, Farmville, Grifton, Bethel, and the other towns pay municipal taxes as well.

Parts of Greenville and Pitt County along the Tar River and its tributaries are in mapped floodplains. Floodplain status affects insurance and how a house can be repaired after damage, and the county or city floodplain administrator can confirm a property's status.

What we typically see in Greenville

Student and workforce rentals whose owners are ready to sell without a vacancy, family houses passed to heirs who live elsewhere, and houses that flooded or that need systems replaced. We review occupied rentals with the lease in place and damaged houses as they are.
