Kilkenny and Le Sueur County
Kilkenny is associated with Le Sueur 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.
Kilkenny by land and water
The Census records 2.25 square miles of water within Kilkenny, or 6.2% of its total area. It is 0.9 percentage points higher than the 5.3% recorded for Le Sueur County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
