Dutch Island and Chatham County
Dutch Island is associated with Chatham 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.
Dutch Island by land and water
The Census records 0.6 square miles of water within Dutch Island, or 19.6% of its total area. It is 11.7 percentage points lower than the 31.3% recorded for Chatham County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
