Silver and Carlton County
Silver is associated with Carlton 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.
Silver by land and water
The Census records 0.03 square miles of water within Silver, or 0.1% of its total area. It is 1.5 percentage points lower than the 1.6% recorded for Carlton County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Silver township has 90.6 times the land area of nearby Kettle River city (0.39 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
