Residency and ETJ
For the purposes of Apex Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources program registration, an Apex resident is considered to be
any family or individual that resides within the established corporate limits of the Town as defined by the Apex Planning and
Community Development Department. Non-residents who may have an Apex address but live outside the corporate limits are
considered “ETJ” (Extra Territorial Jurisdiction). Apex residents are given a two-week registration period before non-residents
and ETJ participants can register for programs. Many of our programs fill quickly and waiting lists are formed. When we call
participants off the waiting lists, residents are given priority followed by ETJ and then the remaining non-residents.
If you have any questions regarding residency, please give us a call at 919-249-3402.
