Sell your Mississippi land for cash

No, Mississippi has no state real estate transfer tax. The chancery clerk charges a fee to record the deed. Under the fee schedule in effect through 2027, it is $25 for the first five pages and $1 for each extra page. Ask your chancery clerk or title company about other fees on your sale. Source: Miss. Code 25-7-9(1)(b).

Interest and costs are added, and the county can sell the land at a tax sale. Mississippi property taxes are due February 1, and unpaid taxes bear interest of one-half of 1% a month after that. Land with unpaid taxes is sold on the last Monday of August, and some counties also hold a sale on the first Monday of April. The sale adds fees, damages and costs, and land that draws no bid for the full amount is struck off to the state. You then have 2 years to redeem by paying the chancery clerk, so ask the clerk or the tax collector for the amount owed. Source: Miss. Code 27-41-1, 27-41-9, 27-41-55 and 27-41-59.

Yes, if you redeem within 2 years after the day of the tax sale. You pay the chancery clerk the taxes, sale costs and 5% damages on the taxes, plus 1.5% interest a month and later costs. The clerk must send the record owner a notice 60 to 180 days before the 2 years end. If no one redeems, the buyer gets a tax deed, or land struck off to the state goes to the Secretary of State for sale. If the land is not redeemed and the bid exceeded taxes and costs, the owner can claim the excess within 2 years after redemption ends. Source: Miss.

Not the state's property condition disclosure statement. Mississippi's disclosure law covers sales of property with a dwelling unit when a licensed real estate broker or salesperson is involved. It specifically excludes transfers of real property on which no dwelling is located. The law also says it does not limit other duties to disclose that exist to avoid fraud or misrepresentation. Ask a Mississippi real estate attorney what your facts require. Source: Miss. Code 89-1-501 and 89-1-513.

Generally you can sell only your lease, not the land. Sixteenth section land is held in trust for the public schools, and the local school board manages and leases it. The Secretary of State says it cannot be sold, except for industrial development. For leases signed after July 1, 1978, you can assign the lease only if it allows assignment or the school board approves. The board cannot withhold permission arbitrarily, so ask the school district's land manager before you sign a sale contract. Source: Mississippi Secretary of State, 16th Section FAQs, and Miss.
