Average Billboard Costs Per Area in Northeast NC & OBX Corridor:
The closer you get to Powell’s Point and the Wright Brother’s Memorial Bridge you get, the higher the lease rate typically goes. Premier billboards right before the bridge go for around $2900/mo and are in high-demand.
From Moyock to Barco, you’ll find billboards available for around $500 to $850 per month on a yearly lease.
If you’re looking for Billboards in the Elizabeth City / South Mills area (not on Hwy 168), you can expect to pay a lot less, sometimes as low at $200/mo for a smaller size bulletin. The average rate is around $450 – $550 in and around Elizabeth City though.
