Mississippi Foreclosure Guide
Mississippi is a non-judicial (deed of trust) foreclosure state with no statutory right of redemption after sale. Trustee sales are advertised in a local newspaper for three consecutive weeks and held at the courthouse. Mississippi has one of the lowest average home price points in the country; liens can often exceed property value in distressed markets. Tax lien sales are also conducted annually.

County-Level Exceptions Investors Should Know
Statewide rules only tell part of the story. These county-level quirks catch out-of-state investors off guard.
Hinds County (Jackson)
Jackson, Mississippi has had extensive water system failures and related utility lien assessments. Buyers should verify whether outstanding water authority assessments — which can be substantial — are recorded as liens against specific parcels.
Harrison County (Biloxi/Gulfport)
Harrison County's coastal properties are subject to elevated wind and flood insurance costs. Post-Katrina title chains on redeveloped properties should be examined for any FEMA CDBG grant restrictions or hazard mitigation covenants recorded after 2005.
