Keyser and DeKalb County
Keyser is associated with DeKalb 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.
Keyser by land and water
The Census records 0.05 square miles of water within Keyser, or 0.2% of its total area. That share is close to DeKalb County’s 0.3%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Keyser township has 118 times the land area of nearby Altona town (0.2 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
