Caribou and Kittson County
Caribou is associated with Kittson 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.
Caribou by land and water
The Census records 0.17 square miles of water within Caribou, or 0.4% of its total area. That share is close to Kittson County’s 0.4%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Caribou township has 1.2 times the land area of nearby Cannon township (35.7 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
