MS Code § 67-1-95 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 67 - Alcoholic Beverages|Chapter 1 - Local Option Alcoholic Beverage Control|§ 67-1-95. Owner's verified answer; forfeiture hearing; burden of proof; rights of holders of security interests, liens, or other interests; disposition of property

  An owner of property seized, other than an owner of alcoholic beverages or raw materials, shall file a verified answer within twenty (20) days after the completion of service of process. If no answer is filed, the court shall hear evidence that the property is subject to forfeiture and forfeit the property to the agency which seized the property. If an answer is filed, a time for hearing on forfeiture shall be set within thirty (30) days of filing the answer or at the succeeding term of court if court would not be in progress within thirty (30) days after filing the answer. Provided, however, that upon request by the agent or agency, or the owner of the property, the court may postpone the forfeiture hearing to a date past the time any criminal action is pending against such owner.   If the owner of the property has filed a verified answer denying that the property is subject to forfeiture, then the burden is on the state to prove that the property is subject to forfeiture; however, if no answer had been filed by the owner of the property, the petition for forfeiture may be introduced into evidence and shall be prima facie evidence that the property is subject to forfeiture.   At the hearing any claimant of any right, title or interest in the property may prove his lien, security interest or other interest in the nature of a security interest, to be bona fide and created without knowledge or consent that the property was to be used so as to cause the property to be subject to forfeiture.   If it is found that the property is subject to forfeiture, then the judge shall forfeit the property to the agency which seized the property. If proof at the hearing discloses that the interest of any bona fide lienholder, secured party or other person holding an interest in the property in the nature of a security interest is greater than or equal to the present value of the property, the court shall order the property released to him. If such interest is less than the present value of the property and if the proof shows that the property is subject to forfeiture the court shall order the property forfeited to the agency.   Upon a petition filed in the name of the state of Mississippi with the clerk of the circuit or county court of the county in which the seizure is made, the court having jurisdiction may order the property summarily forfeited except when lawful possession and title can be ascertained. If a person is found to have had lawful possession and title prior to seizure, the court shall order the property returned to the owner, if the owner so desires.
MS Code § 67-1-99 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 67 - Alcoholic Beverages|Chapter 1 - Local Option Alcoholic Beverage Control|§ 67-1-99. Administrative forfeiture of certain property

  Property subject to forfeiture, other than alcoholic beverages or raw materials, as described by Section 67-1-17 and having a value of Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00) or less may be forfeited by the administrative forfeiture procedures provided for in this section.   The seizing law enforcement agency shall provide notice of intention to forfeit the seized property administratively, by certified mail, return receipt required, to all persons who are required to be notified pursuant to Section 67-1-93.   In the event that notice of administrative forfeiture cannot be given as provided in subsection (2) of this section because of refusal, failure to claim, insufficient address or any other reason the seizing law enforcement agency shall provide notice by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the seizure took place once a week for three (3) consecutive weeks.   Notice pursuant to subsections (2) and (3) of this section shall include the following information:   A description of the property;   The approximate value of the property;   The date and place of the seizure;   The connection between the property and the violation of the Local Option ABC Laws or Chapter 31, Title 97, Mississippi Code of 1972;   The instructions for filing a request for judicial review; and   A statement that the property will be forfeited to the seizing law enforcement agency if a request for judicial review is not timely filed.     Persons claiming an interest in the seized property may initiate judicial review of the seizure and proposed forfeiture by filing a written request for judicial review with the chief law enforcement officer of the seizing law enforcement agency within thirty (30) days after receipt of the certified letter or within thirty (30) days after the first publication of notice, whichever is applicable.   If no request for judicial review is timely filed, the seizing law enforcement agency shall prepare a written declaration of forfeiture of the subject property and the forfeited property shall be used, disposed of, or distributed in accordance with the provision of Section 67-1-97.   Upon receipt of a timely request for judicial review, the attorney for the seizing law enforcement agency shall promptly file a petition for forfeiture and proceed as provided in Section 67-1-93.
