Tacoma and Bottineau County
Tacoma is associated with Bottineau 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.
Tacoma by land and water
The Census records 2.71 square miles of water within Tacoma, or 6.4% of its total area. It is 4.7 percentage points higher than the 1.7% recorded for Bottineau County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
