Erin and Chemung County
Erin is associated with Chemung 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.
Erin by land and water
The Census records 0.22 square miles of water within Erin, or 0.5% of its total area. It is 0.3 percentage points lower than the 0.8% recorded for Chemung County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
