THE LILYDALE LAND BRIEF

Land in the
St. Croix Stagnation Moraines setting.

Lilydale city has 0.55 square miles of land in Dakota County. Its Census reference point is in St. Croix Stagnation Moraines, within North Central Hardwood Forests.

This transition between northern forests and southern farming country includes lakes, wetlands and hardwood woodland. Glacial landforms support a mosaic of open land and wooded areas.

Lilydale and Dakota County

Lilydale is associated with Dakota 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.

Dakota County

Lilydale by land and water

The Census records 0.33 square miles of water within Lilydale, or 37.2% of its total area. It is 33.1 percentage points higher than the 4.1% recorded for Dakota County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Lilydale city has 6.1% of the land area of nearby Mendota Heights city (9.08 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Lilydale 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 Lilydale

02

Read the St. Croix Stagnation Moraines setting

St. Croix Stagnation Moraines belongs to North Central Hardwood Forests. How do the parcel's woods, open areas and lake or wetland edges relate to its surveyed boundaries and access?

03

Check the route, beyond Mendota Heights

Mendota Heights is 2.1 miles south of the Lilydale reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Lilydale
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in Lilydale?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Dakota County. Lilydale’s 0.55 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Lilydale property in St. Croix Stagnation Moraines?+

No. St. Croix Stagnation Moraines is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Lilydale boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Mendota Heights as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 2.1 miles south of Lilydale’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Lilydale?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
