What makes us different?
Neighborhoods are places to live, work, learn and play. Cabarrus County respects the history, character and unique identity of each neighborhood.
We also understand that each neighborhood has special needs and its own set of ideas. We acknowledge the work that each neighborhood has already accomplished.
Cabarrus Neighborhood Partners provides the opportunity for neighbors to continue strengthening their neighborhoods together while utilizing the many services that our program has to offer.
Register your neighborhood:
The neighborhood program works with any group of neighboring land owners, who wish to form an association, to formalize the association and develop leadership within the association.
A neighborhood association can be started by developing a core group of three or four neighbors interested in organizing.
To be officially recognized by the Cabarrus County Neighborhood Outreach Program a neighborhood organization must complete a few basic criteria. Upon recognition, the neighborhood association is then eligible to take advantage of all of the programs that the Neighborhood Outreach Program has to offer.
