THE PERRY COUNTY LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Ohio/Kentucky Carboniferous Plateau setting.

Perry County has 407.9 square miles of land in Ohio. 4 mapped landscape regions meet across Perry County: Ohio/Kentucky Carboniferous Plateau, Low Lime Drift Plain, Loamy High Lime Till Plains, among others.

Rounded wooded hills and intervening valleys form an unglaciated plateau landscape. Valley floors contain much of the region's open land, contrasting with its more forested slopes.

Finding your parcel within Perry County

The atlas lists 28 cities, towns, townships, and Census communities associated with Perry County, including Reading, Hopewell, Jackson. The list includes overlapping geography types and does not divide the county into exclusive service areas.

Perry County

Perry County by land and water

The Census records 4.55 square miles of water within Perry County, or 1.1% of its total area. That share is close to Perry County’s 1.1%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Perry County has 209.5 times the land area of nearby New Lexington village (1.95 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

The Census boundary meets Athens County, Fairfield County, Hocking County, Licking County, Morgan County, Muskingum County within Ohio. A tract near one of these lines should be matched to the county identifier on its own records.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Perry County land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Locate the parcel within Perry County

Use a tax bill, deed, or assessor’s parcel number to pin down the land in Perry County. The county includes 28 listed community geographies; a nearby community name does not prove the parcel is inside its limits.

02

Read the Ohio/Kentucky Carboniferous Plateau setting

Ohio/Kentucky Carboniferous Plateau belongs to Western Allegheny Plateau. Does the surveyed tract include valley floor, hillside or both, and how does its road access reach each portion? The wider county also reaches Erie Drift Plain and Eastern Corn Belt Plains; use the parcel’s location to choose the relevant setting.

03

Check the route, beyond New Lexington

New Lexington is 2.5 miles southeast of the Perry County reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Perry County. Perry County’s 407.9 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Does Ohio/Kentucky Carboniferous Plateau describe all of Perry County?+

The county’s mapped footprint intersects 4 regional units; Ohio/Kentucky Carboniferous Plateau is the largest mapped share. County-scale information cannot establish the soil, slope, drainage, or development potential of one tract.

Can I use New Lexington as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 2.5 miles southeast of Perry County’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Perry County?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners.
