Aztec and San Juan County
Aztec is associated with San Juan 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.
Aztec by land and water
The Census records 0.09 square miles of water within Aztec, or 0.5% of its total area. It is 0.1 percentage points higher than the 0.4% recorded for San Juan County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Aztec city has 1.9 times the land area of nearby Center Point CDP (9.19 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
