How Marshall 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.

Annual sale on the last Monday in August. GovEase lists Marshall County on its fall Mississippi schedule under the heading "2026 Mississippi Fall Auctions (All auctions begin August 31st at 8:30 a.m. CDT)."

Registration and deposit

Bidding runs online through GovEase. Create a GovEase account, then register separately for the Marshall County auction and electronically sign the W-9 plus any documents posted on that county's registration page. GovEase records Marshall County's approval requirement as a signed blank check and a bank letter of credit, with the county handling approval and (662) 252-3661 listed as the county contact. GovEase states that registration for Mississippi fall counties opens August 3. No bidding is permitted until the registration shows as approved.

Sale format and venue
Mississippi sells tax liens by premium bid. Bidding opens at the face value of taxes, interest, fees and penalties, and the highest bid wins, per GovEase's Mississippi overview. That same overview states redemption interest accrues at 1.5% per month on the base amount and that the overbid amount earns no interest, with a two year redemption period from the sale date. Marshall County publishes no sale notice, bidder packet, or delinquent land list on its own website, so confirm the date, the parcel list, and the blank check and bank letter of credit requirement directly with the Tax Collector before registering. Commercial tax lien listing sites carry Marshall County parcels but none of them conducts this sale.

  2. Confirm registration and deposit

    Bidding runs online through GovEase.

GovEase records Marshall County's approval requirement as a signed blank check and a bank letter of credit, with the county handling approval and (662) 252-3661 listed as the county contact.

    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

  • Rosalyn DeBerry is the Marshall County Tax Collector. The main office sits at 103A South Market Street in Holly Springs, with a satellite office at 1311 Hwy 309 N, Byhalia, MS 38611, (662) 838-5395, and a fax of (662) 252-1881.
  • Redemption is handled by the Chancery Clerk, Nicole M. Phelps, PO Box 219, Holly Springs, MS 38635, (662) 252-4431. The Chancery Clerk page describes the office as public recorder and clerk of the Board of Supervisors but publishes no tax sale or redemption instructions.
  • GovEase lists Marshall County's approval requirement as a signed blank check and a bank letter of credit, and gives (662) 252-3661 as the county contact. That number matches the Tax Collector's published phone, which corroborates that the Tax Collector runs the sale and handles bidder approval.
  • The Marshall County auction page on GovEase loaded on 2026-08-07 with no parcels showing. Parcel detail and the sale list require a GovEase account and county approval, so the list is visible only once the county uploads it ahead of the sale.
  • Marshall County appears on GovEase's fall Mississippi schedule, not the spring schedule that covers Amite, Attala, Bolivar, Coahoma, Montgomery, Quitman, Sunflower, Washington, Wilkinson and Yalobusha.
  • The county's online records portal at deltacomputersystems.com carries real property tax, appraisal and Chancery Clerk indexes for Marshall County, but no tax sale, redemption, or delinquent land records.

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.
