county boundaries
Local jurisdiction lines
County boundaries are the official lines that separate one county from another, marking where one local government's jurisdiction ends and the next begins.
These boundaries determine which county's laws, taxes, and services apply to a given location.
The river forms the county boundary.
Property that straddles county boundaries can complicate tax assessments.
