The Lauderdale County Tax Assessor handles valuation; the Tax Collector handles property-tax payments and the County land-sale route; and the Chancery Clerk handles land records and Chancery Court filings. City offices handle Meridian permits, inspections, code, and planning questions.
For a City permit, inspection, code, or planning question, check whether the property is within Meridian city limits; a mailing address alone may not settle that.

Mississippi sale and estate rules
Mississippi has no state real-estate transfer tax. Deeds are subject to recording fees under Miss. Code Ann. § 25-7-9, and the Lauderdale County Chancery Clerk applies the statutory fee schedule and any other recording charge.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
An executor may sell estate property before the estate closes when the will gives the executor authority to sell or the Chancery Court orders the sale. Being an heir alone does not let you sign for the estate. The will, the executor’s appointment, any court order, and title review determine who may sign and transfer the house.
