Mississippi Tax Lien Certificates

Mississippi is both a tax lien and tax deed certificate sale state, making it a great state for tax sales.

On a county basis tax lien sales are held on the last Monday in August. Mississippi has a high interest rate of 18% with a short redemption period of only two years on all tax lien sales.

Mississippi handles tax deeds through a process known as “over the counter” but all tax lien sales are held on a competitive bid basis utilizing the overbid system. The buyer is not fully compensated nor do they earn interest on the overbid amount.

The low competition level paired with the high interest rate of 18% makes Mississippi a favorable state for investors.
