When land near Pascagoula catches your eye, the Gautier GIS map shows parcel boundaries plus basic tax data. What this Gautier guide covers: where that map lives, the fastest ways to search, and what to double-check with records.
Getting started with the Gautier GIS map
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, and for Gautier that means the MARIS Mississippi Statewide Parcels map viewer.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Lots and tracts near Moss Point are published on the MARIS Mississippi Statewide Parcels map viewer, free to use and open without a login. If you only know roughly where the land is, follow US Route 90 on the aerial until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want. For property near Pascagoula, a pop-up or side panel typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and often a sale date.
Gautier and the county around it
Gautier is part of Jackson County, Mississippi, which means parcel data comes from the county. In and around Moss Point, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, while the county keeps the tax map. Land beyond the town limits toward Pascagoula often follows county rules instead.
Three ways to find a parcel

What the layers show
For a tract near Moss Point, look in the layer list for municipal boundaries, floodplain and sometimes zoning; not every viewer has them all.
Owner, value and acreage

Limits of the parcel data
Listed acreage is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary on land around Moss Point. If you're looking near Ocean Springs, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Reading the legal description

Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Pascagoula odd-sized.
