Charlotte local coverage / Public records
Charlotte, NC public records
The official records we read for Charlotte every day, as tables rather than stories: 18 rows across 4 kinds of record. Every row links to the source it came from. Nothing on this page is written by a model.
Upcoming public hearings
last read 2026-09-12 08:25 ETHearings on the published agendas, while a resident can still attend.
Nothing in the window. That is a normal state for most places most weeks.
From the city's own agenda system. Each matter links to the agenda item.
Business openings and closures reported
last read 2026-09-12 07:47 ETWhat Newzino reported from licence and permit records in the last 180 days. An opening needs two kinds of record for one business at one address; a closure is a licence absent from consecutive readings and is worded "appears to have closed".

New licences and permits on the official rosters
last read 2026-09-12 07:47 ETEvery business record that appeared on the city's or county's own lists in the last 90 days. A record is not an opening by itself - a permit alone means plans filed - which is why this table is separate from the one above.

|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-12 | Chipotle Mexican Grill #6058 | 3081 PINEVILLE-MATTHEWS RD | Food service licence |

Where the source publishes no date, the row says when the record was first listed - the day we first read it, not the day it was filed. The day a roster was read for the very first time is left out entirely: on that day every long-established business would wrongly read as new.

last read 2026-09-12 06:55 ETState WARN Act filings naming this city in the last year. The Act covers only layoffs above a statutory size, so this is not every job lost.
