Rice and Clearwater County
Rice is associated with Clearwater 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.
Rice by land and water
The Census records 1.05 square miles of water within Rice, or 2.9% of its total area. It is 0.1 percentage points lower than the 3% recorded for Clearwater County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Rice township has 34.9% of the land area of nearby La Prairie township (100.3 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
