Reading the D'Iberville zoning map for one lot

Past the city line, around Biloxi, the county's ordinance, if any, takes over; ask the county planning office to be sure.

Opening the official parcel viewer

For acreage around Pass Christian, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For acreage around Pass Christian, write down the parcel ID from that panel; every office in the county asks for it first.
Permits after zoning
