Breitung and St. Louis County
Breitung is associated with St. Louis 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.
Breitung by land and water
The Census records 16.3 square miles of water within Breitung, or 41.4% of its total area. It is 32.5 percentage points higher than the 8.9% recorded for St. Louis County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Breitung township has 7.9 times the land area of nearby Tower city (2.92 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
