Where the records are
The county offices an investor deals with in Hinds County, and what each one puts online.
Deeds and mortgages
Hinds County Chancery Clerk. The Chancery Clerk's General Index can be searched free online by grantor or grantee name for deeds and deeds of trust, limited to 500 results per search.
Owners and values
Hinds County Tax Assessor. The Landroll Query is free and searches owner, value and parcel data by taxpayer name, street, parcel number, building type or map number.
Tax sales
Hinds County Tax Collector and Chancery Clerk. The county's free Real Property Tax Sale query shows prior-year tax sale records by owner name, buyer name or parcel number.
Foreclosure sales
Hinds County Chancery Clerk (court records and land records). There is no county foreclosure auction site; trustee sale notices run in the newspaper and recorded deeds of trust can be found in the Chancery Clerk's General Index.
Parcel maps
Hinds County GIS. The county's free ArcGIS web map shows parcels, and the Tax Assessor also offers ownership map PDFs online.
How property is sold here
Hinds County follows Mississippi's rules, with its own calendar and offices. Read the Mississippi guide for how the state works.
Tax sales
Mississippi sells tax liens: buyers pay the unpaid taxes at the county's annual tax sale, and the owner has two years to redeem before the buyer can get a tax deed. In Hinds County the Tax Collector holds the sale starting the last Monday of August, and parcels that draw no bid are struck to the State and, if not redeemed, become tax-forfeited land sold later by the Mississippi Secretary of State's Public Lands Division through its online application site.
Foreclosure sales
Most Mississippi foreclosures are trustee sales under a deed of trust, held at the courthouse door after notice is published in a local newspaper. In Hinds County sales are held at the courthouse for the judicial district where the land lies, Jackson (First District) or Raymond (Second District).
Assessed values
The Hinds County Tax Assessor keeps the land roll that sets values, and values on it can be looked up through the county's online Landroll Query.
Transfer tax
Mississippi has no real estate transfer tax, so a deed in Jackson or elsewhere in Hinds County pays only the Chancery Clerk's recording fees.
Worth knowing
Hinds County has two judicial districts with courthouses in Jackson and Raymond, so check which district a parcel sits in before looking for court records or sale notices.
Worth knowing
Land that does not sell at the tax sale and is not redeemed goes to the State, and buyers apply for it through the Secretary of State's Tax-Forfeited Land Search instead of the county.
Worth knowing
The county runs its records search tools on co.hinds.ms.us; the older hindscountyms.com address was showing a placeholder page in October 2026.
