Sanford and Lee County
Sanford is associated with Lee 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.
Sanford by land and water
The Census records 0.28 square miles of water within Sanford, or 0.8% of its total area. It is 0.8 percentage points lower than the 1.6% recorded for Lee County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
