Posey and Washington County
Posey is associated with Washington 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.
Posey by land and water
The Census records 0.27 square miles of water within Posey, or 0.8% of its total area. It is 0.2 percentage points higher than the 0.6% recorded for Washington County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Posey township has 31.2 times the land area of nearby Fredericksburg CDP (1.08 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
