THE MCCHORD AFB LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Southern Puget Prairies setting.

McChord AFB CDP has 5.88 square miles of land in Pierce County. Its Census reference point is in Southern Puget Prairies, within Puget Lowland.

A glacial lowland surrounds Puget Sound with islands, bays, peninsulas and rolling terrain. Moraines, outwash plains and river terraces create a varied setting beneath the region's maritime climate.

McChord AFB and Pierce County

McChord AFB is associated with Pierce 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.

Pierce County

McChord AFB by land and water

The Census records <0.01 square miles of water within McChord AFB, or 0% of its total area. It is 7.6 percentage points lower than the 7.6% recorded for Pierce County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, McChord AFB CDP has 68% of the land area of nearby Parkland CDP (8.64 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
McChord AFB land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Separate McChord AFB’s place name from its government

McChord AFB is a Census-designated place, a statistical community rather than an incorporated municipality. Confirm the actual planning jurisdiction before treating a McChord AFB address as city approval. Pierce County is the geographic starting point for the records.

02

Read the Southern Puget Prairies setting

Southern Puget Prairies belongs to Puget Lowland. Do the survey and site records identify a terrace, former outwash plain or steeper edge along the proposed access route?

03

Check the route, beyond Parkland

Parkland is 2.6 miles east of the McChord AFB reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your McChord AFB
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in McChord AFB?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Pierce County. McChord AFB’s 5.88 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every McChord AFB property in Southern Puget Prairies?+

No. Southern Puget Prairies is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The McChord AFB boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Parkland as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 2.6 miles east of McChord AFB’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near McChord AFB?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
