Getting started with the Brookhaven property search
The MARIS Mississippi Statewide Parcels map viewer is the free tool for this; addresses, names and parcel numbers all work.
The viewer Lincoln County publishes
Go first to the MARIS Mississippi Statewide Parcels map viewer; it maps every tax parcel from Bogue Chitto to Wesson. If you're looking near Wesson, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For acreage around Bogue Chitto, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; each clerk in the county asks for it first.
City limits and county records
Brookhaven sits in Lincoln County, Mississippi, and the county assessor maps its lots. As the county seat, Brookhaven hosts the courthouse, so deeds and plats are filed in town. For acreage around Wesson, the municipality handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, but the county runs assessment and recording. Acreage past the town limits near Wesson generally answers to county rules instead.
Places you'll see on the map

Roughly 34,702 people call Lincoln County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across some 586 square miles. Lincoln County dates to 1870, so old deeds can run back a long way.

Recorded documents worth pulling

A word on accuracy
The acreage figure is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real lines on land around Wesson. On ground around Wesson, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Reading the legal description

Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Wesson for any title or survey request.
Proof of ownership
Bring the document number shown for the parcel near Wesson to find the deed quickly; hire a title company before money changes hands.
