THE FIRE ISLAND LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Barrier Islands/Coastal Marshes setting.

Fire Island CDP has 9.17 square miles of land in Suffolk County. Its Census reference point is in Barrier Islands/Coastal Marshes, within Atlantic Coastal Pine Barrens.

Sandy coastal landscapes combine beaches, dunes, bays and marshes with oak-pine woodland. These pine-barrens settings form a transition between warmer southern coasts and rockier shores farther north.

Fire Island and Suffolk County

Fire Island is associated with Suffolk 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.

Suffolk County

Fire Island by land and water

The Census records 29.1 square miles of water within Fire Island, or 76% of its total area. It is 14.4 percentage points higher than the 61.6% recorded for Suffolk County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Fire Island CDP has 39.4 times the land area of nearby Saltaire village (0.23 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Fire Island land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Separate Fire Island’s place name from its government

Fire Island is a Census-designated place, a statistical community rather than an incorporated municipality. Confirm the actual planning jurisdiction before treating a Fire Island address as city approval. Suffolk County is the geographic starting point for the records.

02

Read the Barrier Islands/Coastal Marshes setting

Barrier Islands/Coastal Marshes belongs to Atlantic Coastal Pine Barrens. Does the parcel include sandy upland, a dune or a low coastal area, and which current site and access records are available?

03

Check the route, beyond Saltaire

Saltaire is 0.5 miles east of the Fire Island reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Fire Island
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in Fire Island?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Suffolk County. Fire Island’s 9.17 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Fire Island property in Barrier Islands/Coastal Marshes?+

No. Barrier Islands/Coastal Marshes is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Fire Island boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Saltaire as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 0.5 miles east of Fire Island’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Fire Island?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
