Jefferson Parish by land and water

The Census records 341.2 square miles of water within Jefferson Parish, or 53.1% of its total area. That share is close to Jefferson Parish’s 53.1%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Jefferson Parish has 62.1 times the land area of nearby Lafitte CDP (4.84 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

The Census boundary meets Lafourche Parish, Orleans Parish, Plaquemines Parish, St. Charles Parish, St. John the Baptist Parish, St. Tammany Parish within Louisiana. A tract near one of these lines should be matched to the county identifier on its own records.

Jefferson Parish land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Locate the parcel within Jefferson Parish

Use a tax bill, deed, or assessor’s parcel number to pin down the land in Jefferson Parish. The county includes 21 listed community geographies; a nearby community name does not prove the parcel is inside its limits.

02

Deltaic Coastal Marshes and Barrier Islands belongs to Mississippi Alluvial Plain. Which current elevation and drainage records distinguish the tract from nearby swales, levees or river terraces?

03
