Clifton and Greenlee County
Clifton is associated with Greenlee County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.
Clifton by land and water
The Census records 0.18 square miles of water within Clifton, or 1.2% of its total area. It is 0.9 percentage points higher than the 0.2% recorded for Greenlee County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
