Maidstone and Essex County
Maidstone is associated with Essex 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.
Maidstone by land and water
The Census records 1.52 square miles of water within Maidstone, or 4.7% of its total area. It is 3.1 percentage points higher than the 1.6% recorded for Essex County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
