Greenevers Insulation FAQs
Was my Greenevers house built to meet any insulation standard?
Only if it was started in 1978 or later. A 1977 state law covers homes whose construction started on or after January 1, 1978. Such a home may not be lived in until it meets North Carolina's minimum insulation standards, where a county or city enforces them. Incorporation in 1969 does not date any one house, so a home here may be from before that rule or after it. Owners may have added insulation since, or never touched it. Measuring a few spots across the ceiling tells us which.
Is anything in town listed as historic?
Only on a state study list, as far as the records go. The 1994 county study added the Little Creek School, a frame school with knee braces along its eaves, to that list. No Register listing in Duplin's rows names this town as its place. Warsaw has the only local preservation commission listed for Duplin in 2023. So attic work on a house here comes under no historic rules.
Does attic insulation in Greenevers need a permit?
Greenevers Town Hall can say whether Duplin County Building Inspections, the town itself or another office handles permits in Greenevers; ask before work starts.
