Watts and Perry County
Watts is associated with Perry 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.
Watts by land and water
The Census records 0.3 square miles of water within Watts, or 2.4% of its total area. It is 1.7 percentage points higher than the 0.7% recorded for Perry County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
