Overview
Blackstone is a good example of why mailing addresses confuse buyers. A “Matthews, NC” address does not place a home in the Town of Matthews, and it certainly doesn't place it in Mecklenburg County. The Town of Matthews is in Mecklenburg; many Matthews-addressed homes are in Union County.
That distinction affects property taxes, school assignment, permitting, and which local government answers questions about zoning and roads.
Mailing Address and Jurisdiction
A Matthews mailing address reflects the post office that delivers mail, not the governing jurisdiction. Verify Union County parcel data before assuming Matthews or Mecklenburg services. See mailing addresses explained.
What to Research
- Confirm county on the tax bill and GIS record.
- Identify the planning authority for any additions or pools.
- Verify school assignment through Union County Public Schools.
How to Check Sales History Yourself
- Find the parcel ID for a home in Blackstone on Union County GIS, then confirm the recorded subdivision name on the plat.
- Search Union County Register of Deeds by that subdivision name to pull recorded deeds and covenants.
- Use the county tax record for each parcel to see assessed value, acreage, and transfer dates.
- Ask a licensed agent for closed MLS sales filtered by parcel or subdivision, not by marketing name.
Past sales help you understand a community; they don't show what's for sale today or set the value of a specific home. See why historical sales aren't current inventory.
