Beaufort County, North Carolina
Beaufort County stretches along the Pamlico River in North Carolina's Inner Banks, centered on Washington, its seat and waterfront hub, with Belhaven and Chocowinity as smaller river and farm towns. Agriculture, forestry, and a modest industrial base along the river anchor the economy, and flood mapping and CAMA coastal rules near the water carry real weight for waterfront development and appraisal.
