Curious who owns the lot next to you in Moss Point? The Moss Point GIS map answers most of that, without paying for a report. This Moss Point guide covers: which viewer to open, the fastest ways to search, and the limits worth knowing.
Getting started with the Moss Point GIS map
Parcel maps here are usually run by the county, not the town, so for Moss Point the go-to is the MARIS Mississippi Statewide Parcels map viewer.
The viewer Jackson County publishes
Your first stop is the MARIS Mississippi Statewide Parcels map viewer; it includes every assessed parcel in the county, Ocean Springs included. For land near Ocean Springs, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For a tract near Gautier, a pop-up or side panel usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and often a sale date.
Troubleshooting the viewer
When the map won't open around Pascagoula, switch browsers or turn off pop-up blockers; the Platbookmapper county page tracks the current link.
The paper trail behind a parcel
For anything that matters, get the recorded deed through the Chancery Clerk; the parcel map near Ocean Springs only summarizes it. Older tracts around Gautier may trace back through many deeds, and a title company can sort it out on a real sale.
