If a legal description for land in Gulfport cites a lot number, you'll need the Gulfport plat map to make sense of it. What this Gulfport guide covers: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and the details that matter to buyers.
The Gulfport plat map: start here
Subdivision plats are recorded with the Chancery Clerk, with a book and page or instrument number.
Where the parcel data lives
Go first to the Harrison County parcel viewer; it includes each assessed parcel in the county, Long Beach included. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along US Route 90 until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want. With a lot near Biloxi, write down the parcel ID from that panel; every office in the county asks for it first.
When a plat changes
Lots near D'Iberville can be combined or reconfigured by a replat, search the index for replats of the same subdivision; street vacations show up in the records too.
Limits of the parcel data
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not surveyed, so a fence near Biloxi may sit a few yards off the line on screen. If the land is near Long Beach, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
City limits and county records
Gulfport sits in Harrison County, Mississippi, which means parcel data comes from the county. Gulfport is also the county seat, which puts the Chancery Clerk close by. If the land is near Biloxi, 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 Pass Christian often falls under county rules, not municipal ones.
Places you'll see on the map
Biloxi serves as the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. Other places on the map include Long Beach, D'Iberville, and Pass Christian, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Roughly 210,612 people call Harrison County home (Census estimate, 2023) spread over about 574 square miles. Harrison County dates to 1841, so old deeds can run back a long way. Places such as Tchoutacabouffa River, Biloxi Bay, and De Soto National Forest are easy to spot when you zoom out from Biloxi.
When there's no plat
Acreage around Long Beach outside a subdivision is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; look for a recorded survey for land near D'Iberville.
How land is described here
Mississippi is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Biloxi reference sections and townships. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though sections near D'Iberville can be irregular. Keep the legal description for land near D'Iberville for any title or survey request.
Who handles what
For assessment questions about property around Long Beach are handled by the County Tax Assessor, which maintains the tax roll. Zoning, permits and septic questions near D'Iberville go to planning, building or health offices, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Plat map vs. parcel map
The tax map on the Harrison County parcel viewer is a summary, whereas the plat carries surveyed dimensions.
Using it on a phone
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near D'Iberville, though signal can drop in rural spots. A screenshot of the parcel near D'Iberville with its ID is a good backup.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county are kept by the Chancery Clerk. Older tracts in the county can trace back through many deeds, and a title company can sort it out before a purchase.
Details on the Gulfport plat map
Easements on the plat near Long Beach stay with the land when it sells; read the notes on the sheet.
Ordering the Gulfport plat map

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.
