Mississippi Secretary of State Auctions: Live Listings Nationwide (2026)
2395 active Mississippi Secretary of State listings across the U.S. right now.
In Mississippi, land sold at a county tax sale and not redeemed within the redemption period forfeits to the state, and the Secretary of State's Public Lands Division sells it from a standing statewide inventory at sos.ms.gov. It is not an auction: a buyer files an application online, the county tax assessor certifies a current market value, and the state quotes a price (for most parcels the higher of half that value or the taxes and fees owed), which the buyer can accept or decline. Title passes by a land patent signed by the Governor and the Secretary of State, usually 60 to 90 days after the application. The inventory lists the address, parcel number, legal description and the assessor's last reported market value. Parcels are often vacant lots or houses in poor repair and are sold as is. We list parcels with a street address. Every listing links back to bid on sos.ms.gov - GovAuctions doesn't sit between you and the seller.Last updated: 2026-10-28
