Determining Your Property Jurisdiction

It’s very important to determine in which jurisdiction a property is located before beginning any construction or development project, requesting services, or filing a complaint. A property within Jefferson County can be in a city/town (incorporated) or in an unincorporated area of the County (not in a city/town).

The laws and procedures that apply to how you can develop or use property may differ based upon the jurisdiction where your property is located. Please, be sure you know if your property is located within Unincorporated Jefferson County before you start your project!

You can use the CAPture system or the Jefferson County Tax Assessor Map to help you determine in which jurisdiction the property is located.
