The official viewer behind the Kosciusko GIS map
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, so for Kosciusko the go-to is the MARIS Mississippi Statewide Parcels map viewer.
Pulling up a parcel
Parcels around Sallis can be looked up on the MARIS Mississippi Statewide Parcels map viewer, which opens without registering. Near Ethel, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. If the land is near Ethel, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
Getting answers from the right desk
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Ethel looks off belong with the County Tax Assessor, which maintains the tax roll. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Sallis need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.
Places you'll see on the map
Kosciusko serves as the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Ethel, Sallis, and McCool, each with its own cluster of lots. About 17,359 people live in Attala County (Census estimate, 2023) across about 735 square miles. Attala County was formed in 1833, so old deeds can run back a long way.
Recorded documents worth pulling

Beyond the parcel lines

Before you lean on the lines
