Questions

Can anyone buy a government home in Mississippi?

Yes. Treasury and IRS auctions are open to the public (Treasury needs a deposit and online registration). USDA REO homes are bought through a real estate agent; USDA foreclosure sales are run by a trustee. Each listing's official page has the terms.

Is Mississippi a tax lien or a tax deed state?

Mississippi is a lien state. The maximum rate set by law is 1.5% a month (18% a year). Rules differ by county: check the county's own page before a sale.

Information only, not investment, legal or tax advice. Listings come from the agencies' own pages and can change or be withdrawn at any time: always verify with the agency or county before you bid or buy.
