MS Code § 61-7-3 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 61 - Aviation|Chapter 7 - Airport Zoning|§ 61-7-3. Definitions

 As used in this chapter, unless the context otherwise requires:    "Airport" means any area of land or water designed and set aside for the landing and taking-off of aircraft and utilized or to be utilized in the interest of the public for such purposes, including airports and airport facilities owned, operated or controlled by the United States Government for use by military aircraft. However, none of the provisions of this chapter shall be construed as granting to a political subdivision any power or authority that is prohibited by or that is in conflict with any law of the United States or any rule or regulation of any department, board, commission or agency of the United States.   "Airport hazard" means any structure or tree or use of land which obstructs the airspace required for the flight of aircraft in landing or taking-off at any airport or is otherwise hazardous to such landing or taking-off of aircraft.   "Airport hazard area" means any area of land or water upon which an airport hazard might be established if not prevented as provided in this chapter.   "Political subdivision" means any municipality, city, town, village or county.   "Person" means any individual, firm, copartnership, corporation, company, association, joint-stock association, or body politic, and includes any trustee, receiver, assignee or other similar representative thereof.   "Structure" means any object constructed or installed by man, including but without limitation, buildings, towers, smokestacks and overhead transmission lines.   "Tree" means any object of natural growth.
MS Code § 61-7-5 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 61 - Aviation|Chapter 7 - Airport Zoning|§ 61-7-5. Airport hazards declared contrary to public interest

 It is hereby found that an airport hazard endangers the lives and property of users of the airport and of occupants of land in its vicinity, and also, if of the obstruction type, in effect reduces the size of the area available for the landing, taking-off and maneuvering of aircraft, thus tending to destroy or impair the utility of the airport and the public investment therein. Accordingly, it is hereby declared: (a) that the creation or establishment of an airport hazard is a public nuisance and an injury to the community served by the airport in question; (b) that it is therefore necessary in the interest of the public health, public safety, and general welfare that the creation or establishment of airport hazards be prevented; and (c) that this should be accomplished, to the extent legally possible, by exercise of the police power, without compensation. It is further declared that both the prevention of the creation or establishment of airport hazards and the elimination, removal, alteration, mitigation, or making and lighting of existing airport hazards are public purposes for which political subdivisions may raise and expend public funds and acquire land or property interest therein.
MS Code § 61-7-7 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 61 - Aviation|Chapter 7 - Airport Zoning|§ 61-7-7. Power to adopt airport zoning regulations

  In order to prevent the creation or establishment of airport hazards, every political subdivision having an airport hazard within its territorial limits may adopt, administer, and enforce under the police power and in the manner and upon the conditions prescribed in this chapter, airport zoning regulations for such airport hazard area. Such regulations may divide such area into zones, and, within such zones, specify the land uses permitted and regulate and restrict the height to which structures and trees be erected or allowed to grow.   Where an airport is owned or controlled by a political subdivision or by any state institution and any airport hazard area appertaining to such airport is located outside the territorial limits of said political subdivision, within or without the state, the political subdivision owning and controlling the airport or within which the airport owned and controlled by a state institution is located and the political subdivisions within which the airport hazard area is located may, by ordinance or resolution duly adopted, create a joint airport zoning board. Said board shall have the same power to adopt, administer and enforce airport zoning regulations applicable to the airport hazard in question as that vested by subsection (1) in the political subdivisions within which such area is located. Each such joint board shall have as members two representatives appointed by each political subdivision participating in its creation and, in addition, a chairman elected by a majority of the members so appointed.
MS Code § 61-7-9 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 61 - Aviation|Chapter 7 - Airport Zoning|§ 61-7-9. Relationship of airport regulations to comprehensive zoning ordinance

 In the event that a political subdivision has adopted, or hereafter adopts, a comprehensive zoning ordinance regulating, among other things, the height of buildings, any airport zoning regulations applicable to the same area or portion thereof, may be incorporated in and made a part of such comprehensive zoning regulations, and be administered and enforced in connection therewith.   In the event of conflict between any airport zoning regulations adopted under this chapter and any other regulations applicable to the same area, whether the conflict be with respect to the height of structures or trees, the use of land, or any other matter, and whether such other regulations were adopted by the airport zoning regulations or by some other political subdivision, the more stringent limitation or requirement shall govern and prevail.
