Arco and Butte County
Arco is associated with Butte 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.
Arco by land and water
The Census records 0.01 square miles of water within Arco, or 1.2% of its total area. It is 1.1 percentage points higher than the 0.1% recorded for Butte County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
