Silver City and Grant County
Silver City is associated with Grant 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 City by land and water
The Census records 0.02 square miles of water within Silver City, or 0.2% of its total area. That share is close to Grant County’s 0.1%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
