Jacksonville and Pulaski County
Jacksonville is associated with Pulaski 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.
Jacksonville by land and water
The Census records 0.21 square miles of water within Jacksonville, or 0.7% of its total area. It is 5.3 percentage points lower than the 6.1% recorded for Pulaski County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
