How tax sales work in Mississippi

What you buy The tax collector's certified sale list vests in the purchaser a perfect title subject to the owner's right of redemption, with no right of possession during the redemption period; possession and a deed come only if the land is not redeemed. Miss. Code Ann. § 27-41-79, read August 30, 2026 in HB 1198 (2025), committee substitute
How long the owner has to redeem The owner or any person interested in the land may redeem at any time within two years after the day of sale, by payment to the chancery clerk; minors and persons of unsound mind have two years after majority or restoration. Miss. Code Ann. § 27-45-3, read August 30, 2026 in SB 2124 (2026), as introduced
What the owner pays to redeem Redemption costs the taxes for which the land was sold plus costs, 5% damages on the amount of those taxes, and interest at 1.5% per month or fraction thereof on taxes and costs from the date of sale — expressly regardless of the amount of the purchaser's bid. On distribution the 5% damages go to the county and the balance to the purchaser. Miss. Code Ann. § 27-45-3; § 27-45-1, read August 30, 2026 in SB 2124 (2026), as introduced
When the sale is held The sale is held on the last Monday of August, continued day to day between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. until completed, with a collector's option to advertise after February 15 and sell on the first Monday of April instead; a sale made at the wrong time or place is void. Miss. Code Ann. § 27-41-59(1), (3); § 27-41-55, read August 30, 2026 in SB 2859 (2025), as introduced

Each row above is the statute itself, not our summary of it. The full Mississippi statutory fact table carries every field, the operative text word for word, what each cited document is, and the fields we could not verify. Note that a statutory sale day is a fact about the law, not a scheduled sale — dates a county has actually published are on the calendar only.

Ranked by certificates won, not by dollars — several of the counties we track publish no purchase amount, and a dollar ranking would place their largest buyers last. Showing the top 25 of 78 buyers. The 25 rows shown account for 1,743 of the 1,945 certificates won by all 78 buyers ranked; the remaining 53 buyers are not shown. 47 of all 78 buyers ranked, not only the 25 shown, are individuals rather than companies; they are named as winning bidders and counted, and no contact or registry detail is published for them. Overbid is the amount bid above the taxes due on a certificate, as the county's results record it. It is not the purchase price, and it is not a post-sale surplus ledger.

How the rows add up

The county's document holds 2,098 result rows. 1,945 went to a named buyer and are counted above. 153 were struck to the state or county — nobody bid, and the taxing authority took the certificate. Those are not purchases and are excluded from every buyer figure on this site.
