Roxbury and Delaware County
Roxbury is associated with Delaware 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.
Roxbury by land and water
The Census records 0.49 square miles of water within Roxbury, or 0.6% of its total area. It is 1.1 percentage points lower than the 1.7% recorded for Delaware County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
