 The board of supervisors, upon its own motion, or upon notice from the tax assessor, the state tax commission, or other officer authorized to assess, or have assessed property escaping taxation, shall have power, at any time in the current year that an assessment roll is in force, to increase an assessment subject to approval as hereinafter provided, or to assess property or persons omitted from such roll or rolls under the following circumstances:   1. When lands have been assessed and buildings and improvements thereon have been omitted from the roll.   2. When the value of lands, assessed according to the number of acres or as an entire tract, has increased because actually subdivided into lots or smaller tracts, on or before the preceding tax lien date.   3.

When the board of supervisors shall change any assessment as provided in this section, it shall require its clerk to give ten (10) days' notice in writing, and the notice may be given by mail to the last known address of the party, or by newspaper publication, and all objections to such change shall be heard at the next meeting of the board of supervisors.

 It shall be the duty of the board of supervisors in carrying out the provisions of Sections 27-35-143 through 27-35-147 to make such changes in assessments as will cause the taxes to be charged to the person or property liable therefor, and to fix the assessments of property according to the true value thereof, to the end that all property shall be assessed and taxed equally and uniformly. In all cases, the board shall adopt an order and enter the same on its minutes, and shall show in its order the page and line of the assessment roll where such change or correction is made.   Upon receipt of the order (and application, if one be required), the clerk of the board of supervisors shall transmit a certified copy of the order to the tax collector of his county and shall file the application as a record in his office. No assessment shall be increased or decreased and no credit to or charge against the tax collector of any county on account of such increase or decrease shall be entered by the Auditor of Public Accounts or by the county auditor except as shown by an order adopted by the board of supervisors as provided herein. All changes in assessment made under the provisions hereof shall be entered on the proper line and page of the assessment roll in force, and the clerk and tax collector shall keep the proper record of all such changes, increases or decreases. Nothing in this and Sections 27-35-143 through 27-35-147 shall be construed to affect or modify any law with reference to the assessing of property which has escaped taxation in former years.

2020 Mississippi Code|Title 27 - Taxation and Finance|Chapter 35 - Ad Valorem Taxes-Assessment|Article 1 - General Provisions|§ 27-35-155. Assessment of persons and property having escaped taxation

 When the assessor shall discover any persons or property that have escaped taxation in any former year or years, or shall discover that any person or property is escaping taxation for the current year, after the final approval of the assessment roll, as provided by Section 27-35-127, Mississippi Code of 1972, by reason of not being assessed, he shall make the proper assessment by way of an additional assessment for such year or years, distinctly specifying the property, its location, its value, the name of the owner, if known, and the year or years it has escaped assessment and taxation, separately assessing the person or property for the current year. When such assessments are completed, he shall file the same, under his affidavit, with the clerk of the board of supervisors; and shall at the same time notify the board of supervisors, in writing, of the assessment. The power of the assessor to assess property that has escaped taxation by way of additional assessments for a former year or years shall expire at the end of the seven (7) years from the date when his right so to do first accrued.

2020 Mississippi Code|Title 27 - Taxation and Finance|Chapter 35 - Ad Valorem Taxes-Assessment|Article 1 - General Provisions|§ 27-35-157. Notice to persons assessed for former years

 [Through June 30, 2020, this section shall read as follows:]   When the assessor shall assess the persons or property, as provided in Section 27-35-155 and shall file the same with the clerk as therein provided, the clerk shall enter the same on the last approved roll or rolls in his hands, separately for former years, and for the current year. The clerk shall immediately give ten (10) days' notice in writing, to the person or corporation whose property is thus assessed, that all objections to such assessment must be made in writing to the board of supervisors, and will be heard and determined at the next regular meeting of the board. The board at its regular meeting may continue the matter to any other regular, special or adjourned meeting of said board. When the assessment is finally fixed and approved by the board, an appeal to the circuit court may be taken from the order of the board approving or disapproving such assessment, by the owner of the property, or by the Attorney General or other officer authorized by law, in the manner, and within the time, provided by law. If the assessment be approved and no appeal be taken, when the same has been finally determined, the clerk shall certify the said assessment to the tax collector, setting forth in his certificate the year or years for which such assessment is made, and separately the current assessment, the name of the municipality, road district, school district, or other taxing district in which the same is located. Taxes for the current year shall be collected as provided by law for other nondelinquent taxes. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the tax collector shall proceed forthwith to collect all taxes due on said assessment for the former year or years at the rates fixed by law and, in addition thereto, shall collect as a penalty ten percent (10%) of the amount of the taxes due for each year, together with interest at six percent (6%) per annum computed from the first day of February on which the taxes should have been paid. If property is found to have escaped taxation due to a county board of supervisors having granted any ad valorem tax exemption authorized under Sections 27-31-101 through 27-31-117 and then inadvertently allowing the exemption to extend beyond the period authorized by law for the exemption, a taxpayer may pay the ad valorem taxes, without any penalty or interest, which otherwise would have been levied on the property had it not been inadvertently exempted from ad valorem taxation by the county board of supervisors. If the taxes, penalties and interest shall not be paid within thirty (30) days after the final assessment is certified to him, the property, if it be real estate, shall be sold as provided by law, and if it be personal property, the tax collector shall proceed to collect by distress, or otherwise, as provided by law.

If the assessment be approved and no appeal be taken, when the same has been finally determined, the clerk shall certify the said assessment to the tax collector, setting forth in his certificate the year or years for which such assessment is made, and separately the current assessment, the name of the municipality, road district, school district, or other taxing district in which the same is located. Taxes for the current year shall be collected as provided by law for other nondelinquent taxes.

If the taxes, penalties and interest shall not be paid within thirty (30) days after the final assessment is certified to him, the property, if it be real estate, shall be sold as provided by law, and if it be personal property, the tax collector shall proceed to collect by distress, or otherwise, as provided by law.

2020 Mississippi Code|Title 27 - Taxation and Finance|Chapter 35 - Ad Valorem Taxes-Assessment|Article 1 - General Provisions|§ 27-35-159. Tax delinquent lands; change in assessment

 In all cases where lands have been or which may hereafter be struck off to the state for delinquent taxes and the time for redemption has expired, and said lands have been stricken from the list of state lands for any cause provided by law, the board of supervisors of the county in which said lands are situated may, upon petition of the owner or the assessor or any person interested in the land, change, correct, revise and re-value the assessments of said land for each of the years for which the taxes have not been paid, and the board of supervisors may enter an order directing that such assessments as changed, corrected, revised and/or re-valued shall be entered upon the assessment roll in force for the year in which the order is entered, whereupon the tax assessor, or tax collector in the event the roll is in the hands of the tax collector at the time, shall enter such assessments on the roll in the manner as additional assessments are now made, and the tax collector shall collect the taxes on such assessments as other taxes are collected.   The payment of the taxes as herein provided shall cancel all liens and satisfy all claims of the state, county, levee districts and other taxing districts, against said lands for the taxes for the respective years for which the said taxes are paid.

2020 Mississippi Code|Title 27 - Taxation and Finance|Chapter 35 - Ad Valorem Taxes-Assessment|Article 1 - General Provisions|§ 27-35-161. Taxes collected from persons removing

 When the assessor shall learn that any person assessed with personal property, or subject to assessment, is about to leave the county or remove the property, he shall notify the tax collector; and when the tax collector receives such notice, or has information, no matter from whom or how derived, that a person liable for personal property taxes, or owning taxable personal property, is about to remove from the county or remove the property, whether the time for collecting taxes by distress and sale of the property has come or not, or whether the property be assessed or not, if the tax collector shall determine that the removal of the person or property will probably result in a failure to collect the personal property taxes, the said tax collector shall demand bond of the said person, as owner, agent or otherwise, in an amount sufficient to cover all taxes estimated to be due or to become due up to the end of the current year by said person, as the owner, agent or otherwise of the personal property. In default of such bond, the said tax collector shall seize sufficient of the property of said person to pay said taxes, and shall hold the same until such time as same may be sold under distress and sale by the tax collector in due course of such procedure. In lieu of such bond, the tax collector may accept cash in an amount which is ten percent (10%) in excess of the estimated unpaid taxes; and the tax collector shall be officially responsible for such cash deposit. When bond is given as required in this section, the same shall be in the name of the state, and suit may be brought thereon by the tax collector in any court of competent jurisdiction.
