Madison and Highland County
Madison is associated with Highland 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.
Madison by land and water
The Census records 0.36 square miles of water within Madison, or 1% of its total area. It is 0.2 percentage points higher than the 0.8% recorded for Highland County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
