When a parcel crosses a boundary
DeSoto County borders Crittenden County, AR, Marshall County, Tate County, Tunica County, and Shelby County, TN, all with their own assessor records. Acreage along the edge near Olive Branch can be split across two assessors' files, so look at the neighboring map before you assume the acreage.

Southaven and the county around it
