Ocracoke Island Real Esate, you may be confused by the many agencies we
must interface with as we process the sale of a property. To help you

For a small island, Ocracoke has many agencies that we interface with on the local, county, state and federal levels.
Locally we are influenced by the Ocracoke Planning Board, Subdivision Ordinances, and Ocracoke Building Code.
