Questions
How do I get a 911 address?
Contact the Board of Supervisors permitting office at 601-333-0115 or cd@scottcountyms.gov to start an application. The E-911/EMA office assigns the address. It helps to know the name of your nearest street and your nearest neighbors. Contacting the County early in the process is always a great idea. Be sure to take note of the requirements of any adopted county ordinances.
How do I report a wastewater or sewage problem?
