Luzerne and Fayette County
Luzerne is associated with Fayette 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.
Luzerne by land and water
The Census records 1.14 square miles of water within Luzerne, or 3.7% of its total area. It is 2.7 percentage points higher than the 1% recorded for Fayette County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
