Mississippi Code Title 27. Taxation and Finance § 27-41-55

Except as otherwise provided in Sections 27-41-2 and 27-41-59(2), after the fifth day of August in each year hereafter, the tax collector shall advertise all lands in his county on which all the taxes due and in arrears have not been paid, as provided by law, as well as all land which is liable to sale for the other taxes which have matured, as required by law, for sale at the door of the courthouse of his county or any place within the courthouse that the tax collector deems suitable to hold such sale. The place or method of the sale shall be designated by the tax collector in the advertisement of the notice of tax sale on the last Monday of August. If the sale is to be conducted online pursuant to Section 27-41-59(2), the advertisement shall contain instructions on how to bid, including, but not limited to, the times during which online bids may be made at the online sale. The advertisement shall be inserted for two (2) weeks in some newspaper published in the county, if there be one, but in counties having two (2) court districts the lands shall be advertised and sold in the district in which the lands are situated and put up at the courthouse door thereof, or as provided for in Section 27-41-59 for tax sales conducted online, and shall contain a list of the lands to be sold in alphabetical order by owner or in numerical order as they are contained in the assessment roll, in substance as follows:

or by such other description as it may be assessed. Land in cities and towns shall be described in the advertisement as it is described on the assessment roll. Errors in alphabetical or numerical order in the published or posted list of lands to be sold shall not invalidate any sale made pursuant to the notice.

In addition to the foregoing provisions, and at the option of the tax collector, advertisement for the sale of county lands may be made after the fifteenth day of February in each year with the sale of the lands to be held on the first Monday of April in each year, and all of the provisions which relate to the tax sale held in August of each year shall apply thereto.
