MS HB596

Allows owners of manufactured homes or mobile homes sold for taxes to redeem the property within one year after the sale by paying the tax collector all taxes, sale costs, 5% damages on the taxes, and 1.5% monthly interest.

Requires the chancery clerk to execute a release of all state or purchaser claims to the property upon redemption payment, operating as a quitclaim deed.

Directs the chancery clerk to provide written notice to the home owner and any lienholders 45-90 days before the redemption period expires, using the same form and manner as notices for land sold for taxes.

Establishes that the chancery clerk has the same duties regarding manufactured home tax sales and redemptions as they have for land sold for taxes.

Takes effect July 1, 2017.
