Wayne County Chancery Clerk — tax-sale and redemption records
Open Wayne redemption serviceHow to find the information
Open the Wayne 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 Wayne County Chancery Clerk at 601-735-2873. 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 chanceryclerk@waynecountyms.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 Wayne 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.
