Charleston and Orleans County
Charleston is associated with Orleans 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.
Charleston by land and water
The Census records 1.43 square miles of water within Charleston, or 3.7% of its total area. It is 0.1 percentage points lower than the 3.8% recorded for Orleans County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
