Kayenta and Navajo County
Kayenta is associated with Navajo 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.
Kayenta by land and water
The Census records 0.06 square miles of water within Kayenta, or 0.5% of its total area. It is 0.4 percentage points higher than the 0.1% recorded for Navajo County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Kayenta CDP has 1.1 times the land area of nearby Oljato-Monument Valley CDP (12.3 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
