Valley and Montour County
Valley is associated with Montour 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.
Valley by land and water
The Census records 0.04 square miles of water within Valley, or 0.2% of its total area. It is 1.3 percentage points lower than the 1.5% recorded for Montour County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Valley township has 2.1 times the land area of nearby West Hemlock township (7.7 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
