How Jasper County sells delinquent taxes

From lien to deed

Mississippi holds no separate tax deed auction. The land is sold once, at the tax collector's annual land sale. When the two-year redemption period expires without redemption, the chancery clerk executes a deed of conveyance to the tax-sale purchaser on demand.

When it runs
Last Monday of August. The Tax Assessor/Collector page lists "Last Monday of August" for the "Tax Sale on all delinquent parcels that taxes are owed" and states "The Tax Sale for 2025 taxes will be held on August 31, 2026." The county's GovEase how-to-participate flyer lists an 8:30 a.m. start. The Chancery Clerk page describes its role to "Receive and maintain the list of lands sold for taxes on the last Monday of every August."
Registration and deposit

Bidders register online with GovEase. The county's how-to-participate flyer says "GovEase will be handling deposits and payments for the sale" and directs bidders to sign up at liveauctions.govease.com/Account/Login or to "create an account and register by visiting www.govease.com." Webinar training is at govease.com/bidderhelp and GovEase support is listed as [email protected] and (769) 208-5050 ext. 2. The flyer shows registration opening in late July ahead of the August sale, so confirm the current year's registration window with the Tax Collector.

Sale format and venue
Jasper County has two judicial districts and runs a separate online tax sale for each. The county's flyer is a two-page notice covering "Jasper County (District 1) Online Tax Sale Provided by GovEase" and "Jasper County (District 2) Online Tax Sale Provided by GovEase" with identical instructions, and the Tax Office publishes separate Landroll Taxes Due reports for Judicial District 1 and Judicial District 2. The header on each unpaid list states the property "goes on the auction block on the last Monday of August at the annual county tax sale to conducted online on the website www.govease.com/auction." Redemption runs through the Chancery Clerk rather than the Tax Collector: the Chancery Clerk page lists duties to "Receive, process and account for all redemptions made," to maintain the list of lands sold for taxes, and to "Issue tax deeds on lands sold upon the maturity."

Jasper County tax sale list and auction calendar

For Jasper County tax sale 2026 searches, use the county-run sources below rather than a copied parcel list, and confirm the parcel, registration cutoff, deposit, and payment deadline against the county before you bid.

  1. Get the advertised list

    Use Unpaid current-year tax lists, both judicial districts for the current advertised parcels, then recheck it before the auction.

  2. Register to bid

    Bidders register online with GovEase. Full requirements are in the sale card above.

  3. Sale day

    The Tax Sale for 2025 taxes will be held on August 31, 2026. Bidding runs on GovEase; check posted sale dates, registration status, and bidding windows there.

  4. Confirm with the office

    If the list, platform, and notice disagree, use Jasper County Tax Assessor/Collector (the Jasper County Tax Office), Katrice Campbell as the source to confirm which parcels are actually offered.

Before you bid in Jasper County

  1. Start with the live sale list

    Pull the current advertised parcels from Unpaid current-year tax lists, both judicial districts. Lists can change before the sale, so recheck the county source before you price a parcel.

  2. Confirm registration and deposit

    Bidders register online with GovEase. The county's how-to-participate flyer says "GovEase will be handling deposits and payments for the sale" and directs bidders to sign up at liveauctions.govease.com/Account/Login or to "create an account and register by visiting www.govease.com." Webinar training is at govease.com/bidderhelp and GovEase support is listed as [email protected] and (769) 208-5050 ext. 2. The flyer shows registration opening in late July ahead of the August sale, so confirm the current year's registration window with the Tax Collector.

  3. Check the state rules that change the bid

    Read the Mississippi due-diligence checklist before bidding. Redemption, liens that survive a tax deed, title cleanup, and payment deadlines can change what a parcel is worth.

  4. Set a walk-away number

    Work out what the parcel is actually worth with the rural land value estimator, then turn it into a ceiling with the tax deed max-bid calculator.

Over-the-counter (leftover) purchases

Mississippi counties do not keep an over-the-counter list. A tract that draws no bid is struck off to the state, and if it is still unredeemed after two years the chancery clerk certifies it to the Secretary of State. Any person may then apply in writing to the Secretary of State's Public Lands Division to buy the parcel, and the office may also sell state-forfeited land by sealed bid after three weeks of newspaper advertisement, or by online auction.

County notes

  • Jasper County is one of Mississippi's dual county seat counties. The First Judicial District sits at Paulding and the Second Judicial District at Bay Springs, and both the Tax Assessor/Collector and the Chancery Clerk keep an office in each.
  • Separate unpaid tax lists and separate GovEase sales run for Judicial District 1 and Judicial District 2. Confirm which district a parcel sits in before registering and bidding.
  • Direct current-year unpaid tax lists as published by the Tax Office on July 14, 2026 for tax year 2025: District 1 at https://co.jasper.ms.us/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/DIST-1-CURRENT-YEAR-TAXES.doc and District 2 at https://co.jasper.ms.us/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/DIST-2-CURRENT-YEAR-TAXES.doc. Both are Word documents and the county reposts them under a new dated path each year, so start from the Tax Assessor/Collector page for the current links.
  • Redemption is handled by Chancery Clerk Sharon Gray King, not by the Tax Collector. The Chancery Clerk offices are at 1782 MS 503 Hwy, P.O. Box 38, Paulding, MS 39348, phone (601) 764-4940, and 27 West 8th Ave, P.O. Box 1047, Bay Springs, MS 39422, phone (601) 764-3368.
  • The county's delinquent taxes page carries the redemption list for tax year 2023 and states those taxes "must be redeemed in the Chancery Clerk's office on or by August 26, 2026 to avoid forfeiture," that after July 1, 2026 no personal checks are accepted, and to call (601) 764-3368 for a payoff amount. The Chancery Clerk page adds that unredeemed property "will mature to the first delinquent lien holder and that person will be able to claim a tax deed to said property."
  • The linked how-to-participate flyer is a scanned notice carried over from an earlier sale year, so its stated auction start time and registration open date should be re-confirmed with the Tax Collector before each sale.
  • The Tax Assessor/Collector also lists fax numbers (601) 727-3469 for Paulding and (601) 764-6519 for Bay Springs, an email of [email protected], and office hours of Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Mississippi rules

Max interest rate
18% per year, set by statute (bidding is on price)
Minimum return
1.5% floor at redemption
Redemption
Miss. Code Ann. 27-43-1 requires the chancery clerk to issue notice to the record owner within 180 days and not less than 60 days before the redemption period expires. Miss. Code Ann. 27-43-3 then requires the sheriff or a constable to serve a resident owner, the clerk to mail the notice by registered or certified mail, and the owner's name and the legal description to be published in a county newspaper at least 45 days before the period ends. Recorded lienors get their own notice. If the clerk inadvertently fails to send the notice, the sale is void. The clerk's fees for that work are taxed against the owner on redemption and against the purchaser if the land is not redeemed.
Surplus proceeds
Any amount bid above the taxes and costs is reported to the chancery clerk and paid into the county treasury. If the land is redeemed, or the purchaser's title is defeated or set aside, the county keeps the excess. If the land is not redeemed, the former owner may request the excess after the redemption period ends, and the county keeps it if no request comes within two years.
Governing statute
Miss. Code Ann. Title 27, Chapter 41

A tax deed does not convey marketable title. Most buyers file a quiet title action before they can resell or insure the property. See the due diligence guide.
