Sell land or a house in Monroe, NCWe already build here.
Forma builds new homes in Monroe and across Union County, so Monroe land is a direct fit for us. We buy infill lots in established neighborhoods, teardowns, acreage outside the city, and houses in any condition.
Short answer: inside Monroe, the City of Monroe provides water and sewer to much of the city, which makes infill lots straightforward to price. Outside the city, Union County Water or septic applies. We check which one serves your parcel and make a written, no-fee offer.

Inside the city vs outside
Monroe is the Union County seat and the county's oldest town center, with older neighborhoods where small vacant lots and tired houses sit next to occupied homes. Those infill lots are some of the easiest land for us to buy, because the utilities, streets and zoning are already in place. The City of Monroe runs its own utilities, so availability questions for in-city parcels go to the city, and zoning comes from the city's development ordinance via the City of Monroe.
Outside city limits, parcels around Monroe fall under Union County zoning, and service comes from Union County Water where lines exist or from wells and septic. Larger tracts east and south of Monroe often fall into this category. We look up the controlling jurisdiction on UC Atlas and price accordingly.
