Guilford County has no general property-blight or minimum-housing code for unincorporated land beyond its solid-waste nuisance rules. Blighted-structure and general property-maintenance enforcement is a city power in NC, so Greensboro or High Point handles it inside their limits, not the county.
North Carolina counties regulate unincorporated land under Chapter 160D, but Guilford County's adopted nuisance authority is exercised chiefly through its Solid Waste Ordinance (Ch. 15.5), which targets dumping, junk, scrap tires and open burning rather than aesthetic blight. The county has not adopted a broad property-maintenance or minimum-housing code for private dwellings. If your property is inside Greensboro or High Point, that city's nuisance and minimum-housing code applies instead. Junked vehicles are separately regulated (see below). Confirm your jurisdiction with Guilford County Planning & Development before assuming a rule exists.
Solid-waste nuisance violations carry civil penalties from $150 (first) to $500 (third), or $1,000-$3,000 for commercial/willful dumping.
