MS SB2890

Amends Section 19-5-22 of Mississippi Code to prohibit the sale of real or personal property solely to satisfy garbage collection and disposal fee liens.

Garbage fees assessed against property generators and owners create liens on real property, with fees becoming liens on January 1 of the following year if assessed annually.

County board of supervisors may notify the tax collector of unpaid garbage fees within 90 days after becoming due, and the tax collector shall not issue or renew motor vehicle road and bridge privilege licenses until delinquent fees are paid.

Liens can be discharged by filing a receipt or acknowledgement signed by the designated county official confirming payment or discharge of the lien.

Prohibits property sale to satisfy garbage fee assessments levied as special assessments against property under the same restrictions as lien-based collections.
