Cascade and Valley County
Cascade is associated with Valley 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.
Cascade by land and water
The Census records 0.58 square miles of water within Cascade, or 12.3% of its total area. It is 10.4 percentage points higher than the 1.8% recorded for Valley County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Cascade city has 2.2 times the land area of nearby Smiths Ferry CDP (1.85 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
