Boone and Watauga County
Boone is associated with Watauga 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.
Boone by land and water
The Census records 0.02 square miles of water within Boone, or 0.3% of its total area. That share is close to Watauga County’s 0.3%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
