For land around Glen, the Corinth property search returns who the tax bill goes to. This Corinth guide covers: which viewer to use, how to read owner names, and how to confirm with the deed.
A Corinth property search: start here
The Alcorn County ArcGIS parcel map is the free tool for this; try the address first, then the owner's name.
The free map to start with
Go first to the Alcorn County ArcGIS parcel map; it includes every assessed parcel around Kossuth and Glen. If the land is near Glen, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. With a lot near Glen, write down the parcel ID while you have it open; each clerk in the county asks for it first.
City limits and county records
Corinth lies within Alcorn County, Mississippi, and the county assessor maps its lots. As the county seat, Corinth hosts the courthouse, so deeds and plats are filed in town. If the land is near Farmington, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Acreage past the town limits toward Kossuth generally follows county rules rather than the town's.
A quick look at the area
Corinth serves as the county seat, home to the main records offices. Other places on the map include Farmington, Glen, Kossuth, and Rienzi, where town lots give way to larger tracts. About 34,135 people call Alcorn County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across about 400 square miles. Alcorn County dates to 1870, so old deeds can run back a long way. Places such as Tuscumbia River and Hatchie River help you orient on the aerial around Rienzi.
Who handles what
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Farmington looks off are handled by the County Tax Assessor, since that office keeps the assessment data. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Farmington are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
What the owner name means
If a company owns land near Rienzi, look it up in the state's business registry. "Estate of" on a record near Kossuth often points to an open probate, so the personal representative is the contact.
Tax data in the record
The record for a parcel near Rienzi often lists value and tax amounts; questions about value go to the County Tax Assessor.
Context from nearby lots
Click the parcels around the one near Kossuth to see who owns the neighboring land; it helps with access and boundary questions.
Deeds behind the record
Bring the document number shown for the parcel near Kossuth to find the deed quickly; a title search is wise before any purchase.
Making contact
A polite note sent to the tax-bill address works better than knocking unannounced for property around Rienzi.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Alcorn County meets Prentiss County, Tippah County, Tishomingo County, Hardeman County, TN, and Hardin County, TN, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by Glen can show up across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map before you assume the acreage. For a parcel near Rienzi, our state page links each neighboring county map across Mississippi.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Rienzi sit with the Chancery Clerk. Long-held tracts around Kossuth may sit on many deeds, and a title company earns its fee on a real sale.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Glen, so load it before you lose signal. A screenshot of the parcel near Farmington with its ID helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Limits of the parcel data
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not measured on the ground, so a fence near Farmington can sit some distance off the line on screen. With a lot near Glen, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Legal descriptions in Mississippi
Mississippi follows the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Farmington is described by section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though real sections near Kossuth vary in size. Write down the legal description for the tract near Rienzi for any title or survey request.

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.
