Jamestown and Stutsman County
Jamestown is associated with Stutsman 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.
Jamestown by land and water
The Census records 0.06 square miles of water within Jamestown, or 0.4% of its total area. It is 2.9 percentage points lower than the 3.3% recorded for Stutsman County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Jamestown city has 50% of the land area of nearby Midway township (26.7 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
