Listing description

What the seller provided

Tax-forfeited land held by the State of Mississippi and currently available through the Secretary of State. Buyers apply to purchase rather than bid in a currently scheduled auction; the final offer is determined through the statutory appraisal and approval process.

How this sale works

Tax sale (deed)

The county sells the property itself to recover unpaid taxes. The minimum bid is usually the delinquent taxes, interest and costs.

Bidding often starts at the amount owed, well below market value, but other liens may survive the sale.
Some states give the former owner a redemption window after the sale; the deed is not final until it lapses.
Access is limited before the sale; buyers rely on public records, drive-bys and the assessor's data.
Winning bidders usually pay in full within hours or days; many counties require pre-registration and a deposit.

In Mississippi: Mississippi county tax collectors sell delinquent parcels on the last Monday of August, and the buyer holds a redeemable tax lien. Parcels nobody buys are struck off to the state and later sold by the Secretary of State. The owner has two years from the sale to redeem; if not redeemed, the chancery clerk issues a tax deed to the buyer, subject to notice requirements. More about Mississippi government auctions →
