Where to obtain records

Clay County Chancery Clerk — tax-sale and redemption records

Open Clay redemption service

Office website →

How to find the information

Open the Clay service linked by Data Systems Management. The provider describes lookup by name, parcel number or address; the county’s actual application controls were not independently inspected. For tax-sale and redemption records, contact the Clay County Chancery Clerk at 662-494-3124. Provide the parcel number or PPIN, assessed name and tax-sale year. Request the existing sale/redemption entry or an existing unredeemed-parcel file, specify the years needed, and ask for a copy/export cost estimate before ordering. The clerk directory lists lboyd@claycounty.ms.gov for written inquiries. For current unpaid bills before tax sale, ask the Tax Collector for the relevant account or an existing delinquent-account file. The Office website button opens the provider directory containing this named county link.

What to ask for

“I am looking for publicly available delinquent real-property tax records for Clay County for [tax year]. Which office maintains these records? Is there an online search or downloadable list? If not, how can I request a copy, and what fees apply?”

Have the property address, parcel number, owner name, and tax year ready when searching for a particular property.

County-specific notes

This is a provider-published county route, not confirmation that every search method is implemented for this county. The application shell responded, but taxpayer results, unpaid filters, exports and any login/fee conditions were not verified. The Secretary of State’s inventory covers land forfeited to Mississippi after unpaid taxes and an expired redemption period. It does not list every unpaid county bill, every county tax sale or all parcels still in redemption. Absence from the inventory does not establish that taxes are paid.

An independent directory, not a government agency.

We help you locate records; we do not store taxpayer lists, determine delinquency, collect taxes, or sell tax liens. Confirm balances, payment status, deadlines, and fees with the responsible office. A tax-sale list is not a complete list of delinquent accounts.

Geography: U.S. Census Bureau 2026 Gazetteer, 50 states and DC. County equivalents include parishes, boroughs, independent cities, census areas, and planning regions. Geographic areas do not always administer property taxes; municipal offices may hold the records.
