• Powell Bill Program (State Aid for Municipalities)

    2025 Powell Bill (PB) Program 

    In preparation for the upcoming 2025 Powell Bill Program, we suggest that you take a moment to go to the Enterprise Business Services website (https://www.ebs.nc.gov) to ensure that your able log on without any issues.  It is possible that your NCID account became inactive if you have not updated your password when prompted by NCID emails.  

    If you're not able to log onto the EBS website:

    1. Log onto NCID and reset your password: https://myncid.nc.gov/​
    • If your account is disabled, contact the NCID Coordinator for your municipality and request to have your account reestablished.

    • Once your account is reestablished, you should attempt to log onto NCID again.

    NCID account issues will need to be addressed with NCID directly. EBS Support cannot assist them.

    1. If you successfully log onto NCID and have reset your password, you should try logging on to EBS again. (https://www.ebs.nc.gov)  If you're still not able to log on, you should contact the DOT-IT SAP (EBS) Support Services staff at EBSSupport@ncdot.gov (include a phone number for them to contact you).

    Once you log in, keep in mind you won't be able to do anything until the 2025 Powell Bill Program is opened by July 1st

    If you have staff changes, please have the new staff members follow the instructions mentioned above to obtain a NCID/EBS/PBRS log in. Please email the PB unit at NCDOT_PowellBill@ncdot.gov for any staff members who will need their access to your municipality removed.
