Mississippi Code Title 27. Taxation and Finance § 27-13-35

The sheriff, or special agent of the Tax Commission, upon receipt of a warrant or a jeopardy warrant shall immediately seize any property of the taxpayer named in the warrant, in all respects, with like effect, and in the manner prescribed by law with respect to executions of judgments, and he shall execute such warrant and return it to the commissioner, and pay to him the money collected by virtue thereof by the date specified therein, but not to exceed sixty (60) days.

The sheriff or special agent shall be entitled to the fees for his services in the same amount, and to be collected in like manner, as provided by Sections 25-7-19 and 25-7-21, Mississippi Code of 1972, for like services under a writ of execution. Provided, however, that the minimum total of all such fees shall be ten dollars ($10.00). All such fees collected by a special agent of the tax commission shall be paid to the tax commission and deposited in a fund to be expended by the chairman to help defray the cost of carrying out the provisions of the chapter. Provided, further, that when a warrant issued to the sheriff shall be withdrawn by the commissioner prior to its expiration date, the commissioner is authorized to pay to the sheriff the fees allowed by law for services actually performed and costs actually incurred, out of money collected as fees from the taxpayer, or from funds appropriated for the operation of the tax commission.

Real property shall be disposed of according to Section 13-3-163, Mississippi Code of 1972, and personal property shall be disposed of according to Section 13-3-165, Mississippi Code of 1972. However, perishable personal property may be disposed of as provided by Section 13-3-167, Mississippi Code of 1972.
