Palmyra and Lee County
Palmyra is associated with Lee 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.
Palmyra by land and water
The Census records 0.71 square miles of water within Palmyra, or 2% of its total area. It is 1.5 percentage points higher than the 0.5% recorded for Lee County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Palmyra township has 2 times the land area of nearby Woosung township (17.7 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
