New resources help residents identify whether the Town, NCDOT, or private HOAs are responsible for road repairs.
LELAND, NC – For residents in the growing Leland area, reporting a pothole or requesting street maintenance isn’t always as simple as calling Town Hall. According to local officials, road responsibility is a patchwork of jurisdictions involving the Town of Leland, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), and private entities.
To help citizens navigate this complexity, the Town has released a guide and an interactive maintenance map to ensure concerns reach the right hands.
Understanding the Jurisdictions
The responsibility for a road often depends on its size and location. 
Maintenance duties are generally split as follows:
- The Town of Leland: This entity generally maintains neighborhood residential streets.
- NCDOT: The state maintains larger thoroughfares including Highway 17, Highway 74/76, and Highway 133.
- Major Local Roads: The NCDOT also oversees Village Road, Lanvale Road, and Old Fayetteville Road.
- Private Owners and HOAs: Many neighborhood streets are privately owned and are the sole responsibility of Homeowners Associations (HOAs) or private individuals.
Recognizing that it can be difficult to tell where one jurisdiction ends and another begins, the Town is pointing residents toward an interactive street maintenance map. Residents can quickly identify who to contact for specific road issues.
For those looking to report a problem directly or view additional maintenance resources, the Town has established a central hub.
”Knowing who maintains your street is the first step in getting it fixed,” the Town noted in a recent update, encouraging all residents to check the map before filing a report.
