Barrington and Strafford County
Barrington is associated with Strafford 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.
Barrington by land and water
The Census records 1.96 square miles of water within Barrington, or 4% of its total area. That share is close to Strafford County’s 3.9%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Barrington town has 4 times the land area of nearby Madbury town (11.6 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
