Ovid and Seneca County
Ovid is associated with Seneca 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.
Ovid by land and water
The Census records 7.89 square miles of water within Ovid, or 20.4% of its total area. It is 3.3 percentage points higher than the 17.1% recorded for Seneca County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Ovid town has 77.5 times the land area of nearby Ovid village (0.4 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
