Tax sales; revise provisions related to.
SB 2124 amends Mississippi tax sale procedures to clarify notice requirements and strengthen purchasers' rights. It states that a tax sale is voidable only if the clerk fails to send required notice (not if the purchaser provided it), and requires property owners to provide a mailing address to the county clerk when filing taxes - failure to do so bars claims of missing notice. The bill also allows tax sale purchasers to collect future property taxes, maintenance costs they paid, and attorney fees if defending their title, while prohibiting homestead exemptions in certain cases. These changes aim to reduce disputes over tax sales and provide clearer legal rights for both property owners and purchasers.
