How tax-forfeited land work

Tax-forfeited land is property that went unredeemed after a county tax sale and passed to the state, which now sells it. It is not an auction: you apply to buy a parcel, the state quotes a price based on the county assessor's market value, and title passes by a state land patent weeks later. Parcels are sold as-is and are often vacant lots or houses in poor repair.

Whether Mississippi sells tax liens or tax deeds, and how long an owner can redeem, is in our tax lien vs tax deed state guide.

Deposits, deeds and title checks are covered in how to buy government land at auction. More parcels: real estate auctions near me and land auctions near me.
