Ad valorem taxes; revise provisions regarding certain notice required after tax sale.
HB 1140 creates an alternative notice method for individuals or entities that purchase property at tax sales and hold tax lien certificates. It requires these lien holders to serve notice on property owners and interested parties via certified mail or private process servers, with specific delivery rules and a detailed affidavit of service. The bill specifies timing (120 days to 30 days before redemption expiration) and allows lien holders to recover notice costs through a judgment lien on the property. This affects tax lien holders, property owners, and county clerks, while maintaining existing notice requirements under Mississippi law.
