Chichester and Merrimack County
Chichester is associated with Merrimack 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.
Chichester by land and water
The Census records 0.11 square miles of water within Chichester, or 0.5% of its total area. It is 1.8 percentage points lower than the 2.3% recorded for Merrimack County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
