HB 1566 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Deed; require refusal of deed when required telephone numbers are not included.

This bill requires chancery clerks to verify that all property transfer deeds include current residential, personal, and employment phone numbers for both the seller (grantor) and buyer (grantee) before accepting them for filing. It would take effect July 1, 2025, with clerks refusing to file any deed missing this information. Counties would face a $100 penalty per violation, with funds withheld from homestead exemption reimbursements, to ensure compliance. The bill died in committee in February 2025 and never became law.
