Perry and Clay County
Perry is associated with Clay 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.
Perry by land and water
The Census records 0.08 square miles of water within Perry, or 0.2% of its total area. It is 0.6 percentage points lower than the 0.8% recorded for Clay County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
