Cameron straddles two counties and two highways

Cameron sits where Interstate 35 meets US Route 36 in the northeast corner of Clinton County, and the city extends across the line into DeKalb County. That crossing matters for paperwork: a Cameron address can fall in either Clinton or DeKalb County, and the county you are in determines where property is assessed, where the tax bill comes from, and where deeds are recorded. The city is also tied to nearby state correctional facilities, a significant local employer. Before assuming which county handles a parcel, check the address against the county line, because the city limits and the county line are not the same boundary. The county portals and a parcel lookup are the way to confirm which county a given Cameron address sits in.
