For any lot around Kokomo, the Columbia GIS map lays out lines, owner names and parcel numbers. This Columbia guide covers: where that map lives, the fastest ways to search, and what to double-check with records.
Getting started with the Columbia GIS map
For land near Kokomo, some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; that can add detail on top of the county map.
Pulling up a parcel
Begin with the Marion County ArcGIS parcel map; it includes each tax parcel around Kokomo and Foxworth. For acreage around Foxworth, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For a parcel near Foxworth, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
Getting your bearings
Columbia serves as the county seat, home to the main records offices. Other places on the map include Foxworth and Kokomo, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 24,224 people live in Marion County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over about 542 square miles. Marion County was organized in 1811, so old deeds can run back a long way.
Using it on a phone
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Foxworth, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Foxworth is a good backup.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Marion County borders Washington Parish, LA, Jefferson Davis County, Lamar County, Lawrence County, and Pearl River County, all with their own assessor records. A tract near the line by Foxworth can be split in two county records, so look at the neighboring map as well. For a tract near Kokomo, our state page links each bordering county map for Mississippi.
Offices that can help
Recorded documents for a parcel near Foxworth sit in the index kept by the Chancery Clerk, sometimes only in person. Building or septic questions for a lot near Foxworth go to planning, building or health offices, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Columbia and the county around it
Columbia is part of Marion County, Mississippi, so its parcels are on the county's map. As the county seat, Columbia hosts the courthouse, which puts the Chancery Clerk close by. For acreage around Foxworth, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the town limits out by Foxworth usually falls under county rules instead.
What the map can't tell you
Acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real corners for a parcel near Kokomo. For acreage around Foxworth, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Searching the map
Acreage around Kokomo might not have a street number, which means panning to it and clicking. For property near Kokomo, searching by parcel number never misses, and it carries over to every office in the county.
What the layers show
For property near Foxworth, layer lists often include municipal boundaries, floodplain and sometimes zoning; availability varies.
Printing and saving
Save a screenshot of the lot near Foxworth and its record panel, which helps later when you ask the assessor or a title company.
Sections, lots and bearings
Mississippi is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Foxworth cite section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though sections near Foxworth can be irregular. Write down the legal description for the tract near Foxworth before you request a deed or survey.
Recorded documents worth pulling
For anything that matters, get the recorded deed through the Chancery Clerk; the parcel map near Kokomo only summarizes it. Older tracts near Foxworth may sit on many deeds, so a title company can sort it out before a purchase.
Troubleshooting the viewer
When the map won't open around Foxworth, try a desktop browser or clear the cache; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.
Reading a parcel record
Recent sales on nearby lots near Foxworth give a rough idea of values; an appraiser is the real authority.
