JACKSON — The Secretary of State’s Office is releasing $507,404.48 to 49 counties across the state, and cities and schools within those counties, representing proceeds from recent tax-forfeited property sales.
Among the counties receiving more than $5,000 is Coahoma County, which will receive $8,394.34 from 11 parcels.
“This distribution represents almost 1,100 parcels which are now back on the tax rolls and in productive use in these counties. We are grateful for the partnerships we have with local government officials who help us spread the word about auctions to increase sales and decrease the state’s inventory,” Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann said.
In recent years, successful auctions in Bay St. Louis, Hinds County, Jackson, Leflore County, McComb, Meridian, Pearl River County, Rankin County, Washington County, Waveland, Vicksburg, and Yazoo City have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Mississippi schools, municipalities, and counties.
Any member of the public may view details about available properties throughout the State, including parcel location and pictures, on the Secretary of State’s website at www.sos.ms.gov/Public-Lands/Pages/Tax-Forfeited-Lands.aspx.
