Mississippi State FAQs

Is Mississippi a judicial or non-judicial state?

Non-Judicial

In a non-judicial foreclosure state, the lender does not need to go through the court system in order to foreclose on a property. This process can be quicker and less expensive for the lender compared to a judicial foreclosure.

As a real estate investor, it is important to understand the differences between judicial and non-judicial states because it can affect the amount of time and money it takes to foreclose on a property. It can also impact the availability of properties that are being foreclosed on and the process of purchasing those properties.

What is the process of closing on a property in Mississippi?

Attorneys conduct real estate closings. Conveyance is by warranty deed. Deeds of trust are the customary security instruments. Foreclosure involves a non-judicial process which takes 21-45 days. Mississippians use ALTA policies and endorsements. Buyers and sellers negotiate the payment of title insurance premiums and closing costs. There are no documentary, mortgage, or transfer taxes. Property taxes are payable on an annual basis and become delinquent February 1st.

In Mississippi, does a property management company require a real estate broker's license?

YES. Key components of property management (managing, renting and leasing) are considered real estate brokerage services under existing Mississippi real estate licensing laws. If a property manager is going to lease, rent, manage, list, procure prospects or negotiate, assist, or offer to perform any of those acts, he or she will need a broker's license. A salesperson working under a broker may engage in such activities.

YES. For example, bona fide owners of property and their salaried employees who are engaged in property management in the regular course of business are exempt. For more information about these and other Mississippi property management requirements and exceptions, please contact the Mississippi Real Estate Commission. Before hiring a property manager to manage your Mississippi rental property, you should always check that he or she is licensed appropriately.
