Getting started with the Moss Point property search
Use the MARIS Mississippi Statewide Parcels map viewer for a Moss Point property search; try the address first, then the owner's name.
Getting to the right map
Go first to the MARIS Mississippi Statewide Parcels map viewer; it covers every tax parcel from Pascagoula to Ocean Springs. For acreage around Gautier, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. In and around Ocean Springs, the record panel usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Ocean Springs are filed with the Chancery Clerk. For property near Gautier, have ready the book and page from the tax record and the lookup takes minutes.
Getting your bearings
Pascagoula holds the county offices, home to the main records offices. Other places on the map include Gautier and Ocean Springs, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Around 146,389 people live in Jackson County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over roughly 723 square miles. Jackson County dates to 1812, which matters when you trace an old farm's title. Landmarks such as De Soto National Forest make handy reference points on the map near Pascagoula.
City limits and county records

Local government in Moss Point handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the town limits toward Ocean Springs often follows county rules instead.
A word on accuracy
The acreage figure is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines on land around Pascagoula. With a lot near Pascagoula, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Looking around the parcel

Keep the legal description for land near Gautier before you request a deed or survey.
Who the record really names
If a company owns land near Gautier, the state registry names who receives mail for it. An estate listed as owner near Gautier usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, so the personal representative is the contact.
Deeds behind the record

Tax data in the record
Many records show assessed value and taxes for land near Ocean Springs; the County Tax Assessor sets values and the treasurer or collector bills taxes.
Taking the map into the field
