Sara Warmuth

New Hanover County Manager Chris Coudriet has announced that Sara Warmuth has been selected as the county’s new property management director, according to a news release from the county.

Warmuth will begin her role on July 3, officials said in the release. She has spent the last 10 years with Forsyth County, most recently serving as the assistant director of General Services. 

Warmuth started her career with the Village of Wellington, a municipality in southeast Florida.

Warmuth is a graduate of East Carolina University, where she received both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in business administration. She also holds a certificate from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Government in county administration.

“Sara epitomizes our desire to hire only the best and the brightest,” Coudriet said in the release. “Her experience and perspective will prove to be very helpful as our Property Management Department oversees several large projects that are currently underway.”

In addition to operations and maintenance of county facilities valued at $13 million annually, property management is also overseeing $54 million of capital improvements, including the construction of three new county buildings – Pine Valley Library Branch, Ogden Fire Station, and the combined Public Health and Social Services building, county officials said.
