Where to ask about permits, records, or taxes

Hattiesburg intersects Forrest and Lamar counties, so land-record and tax questions can lead to different county offices. For an individual estate, confirm the county and court route with a Chancery Clerk rather than assuming it follows the property's location. The City's Historic Preservation Planner can explain which review process applies to work in a designated historic district.
