Limestone and Kankakee County
Limestone is associated with Kankakee 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.
Limestone by land and water
The Census records 1.02 square miles of water within Limestone, or 2.5% of its total area. It is 1.8 percentage points higher than the 0.7% recorded for Kankakee County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Limestone township has 14.5 times the land area of nearby Limestone village (2.79 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
