The Amite County parcel map turns a drive past an empty field near Liberty into a name, a parcel number and an acreage figure.
We link the official viewer and the Amite County page in the Platbookmapper directory, explain the records behind the map, and cover the questions buyers, builders and hunters ask most.
The lay of the land in Amite County
The county seat is Liberty; Centreville, Crosby, and Gloster are among the other communities you can zoom to. You'll also find unincorporated communities, among them Bewelcome, Coles, and Gillsburg. Amite County was created in 1809 and takes its name from Amite River. About 12,442 people lived in Amite County in 2023, according to Census Bureau estimates, on roughly 730 square miles. Town lots in Gloster give way to farm tracts and woodlots within a mile or two, and the roads toward Liberty are lined with small acreage splits. Look for Homochitto National Forest on the map; the private tracts touching it are some of the most asked-about parcels in Amite County.
How to use the Amite County parcel map
Parcels from Liberty to Gillsburg are on the Amite County ArcGIS parcel map, which the county runs on an Esri ArcGIS web map. Zoom until the lot lines show up around Centreville, then click; the pop-up gives the parcel ID, owner and acreage. Our Amite County listing carries the same link plus neighboring maps.
How to find property lines in Amite County
Zoom in far enough on a lot in Gloster and you may notice lines crossing driveways or splitting sheds, a normal quirk of tax mapping. Because Mississippi is a section-township-range state, the legal description of a rural tract in Amite County reads like a grid reference that you can match to the section lines on the map. For a fence, an addition or a dispute in Amite County, budget for a licensed survey; it's the answer a court or a lender will accept.
Behind the map: land records in Amite County
For land near Crosby, the chancery clerk holds the recorded documents, and the parcel map reflects them once they're processed for taxes. Mississippi puts land records with the chancery clerk, so that office in Amite County is where to request deeds and plats. Rural tracts near Gillsburg may go back through several deeds; the instrument number on the record is the first link in that chain.
Who uses the Amite County parcel map
Here's who tends to use it in Amite County. Deer hunters scouting the woods between Gloster and Liberty use the parcel lines to see how many owners share one ridge or creek bottom. Land shoppers looking between Gloster and Centreville measure road frontage on the map and check whether a tract is landlocked. Owners in Gloster compare their assessment with similar lots on the same street. Someone house hunting in Gloster can check whether a yard really is as big as the listing implies, and who owns the open lot behind it.
Private and public hunting ground in Amite County
Before you scout a new spot near Gloster, pull up the parcel layer and see how many owners share that stretch of woods. Around Homochitto National Forest, private tracts can press right up against the public boundary, so check the lines before you walk in. Licenses and season dates for the Gillsburg area come from the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks. Landowners in Amite County hear from a lot of hunters; a specific request that names the parcel stands out.
Work and land use in Amite County
By the Census Bureau's 2022 count, 185 business establishments operated in Amite County. Retail trade had the most, followed by other services and agriculture support, forestry and fishing. Relative to the U.S. as a whole, Amite County is heavy on forestry and logging, wood product manufacturing, and utilities. For a buyer eyeing woods outside Centreville, that means asking whether the timber has been sold or harvested recently. That context helps when you read the parcel pattern around Liberty: jobs and land use move together.
Data limits to keep in mind
A lot in Gloster that sold last month may still show the previous owner on the map. Treat Amite County acreage figures as estimates until a survey confirms them.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
