Matthews and New Madrid County

Matthews is associated with New Madrid 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.

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Matthews
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 Matthews?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in New Madrid County. Matthews’s 1.96 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Matthews property in St. Francis Lowlands?+

No. St. Francis Lowlands is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Matthews 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 Canalou as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 6.6 miles west of Matthews’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 Matthews?+

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.
