Do you accept Gulf Coast properties or inherited Delta farmland?

Yes. We frequently work with families who have inherited coastal vacation homes, properties requiring storm repairs, or rural farmland in Mississippi but no longer want to manage the intense upkeep or high insurance costs. We accept these properties “as-is,” offering a legally secure way to exit the asset without waiting for a seasonal or agricultural buyer.

Can my business donate an empty commercial building in Jackson or Gulfport?

Yes. We specialize in handling complex commercial assets throughout Mississippi, including obsolete office spaces, industrial warehouses, and vacant retail storefronts, helping you offload liability cleanly and obtain a significant corporate tax deduction.

Donate Real Estate in Mississippi

Mississippi records deeds with the chancery clerk and charges no transfer tax on the conveyance itself. The obstacles here are not fiscal. They are heir property held in undivided shares for generations, timber ground nobody is managing, and coastal housing that still carries storm exposure.

Mississippi rules for a property donation

Federal tax rules are the same in every state. These three are set by Mississippi and by the county where the property sits.

Transfer tax

Mississippi has no statewide real estate transfer tax on deeds. Recording fees are set locally by the chancery clerk.

The chancery clerk and the land roll

Mississippi land records are kept by the chancery clerk, and the county assessor updates the land roll from the recorded deed. Where property has passed by inheritance without probate, the roll and the deed records can disagree for decades. Sorting that out is ordinary work and it is where we start.

Recording

Deeds are recorded with the chancery clerk for the county where the property sits. You sign before a notary wherever you live, and we handle the filing.

What Mississippi owners call us about

Four situations that recur across the state.

Heir property with no probate on record Land in a great-grandparent’s name and dozens of living descendants holding undivided shares. Identifying the owners comes first. Pine ground with a harvest overdue Timber acreage owned by families who left for Memphis, Jackson or further, paying taxes on land they have not walked in years. A coast house after a storm season Wind and flood damage, elevation requirements and insurance costs that change the arithmetic on rebuilding. A parcel sold for taxes Mississippi tax sales carry a redemption period. The dates on the sale decide how much room remains.

What a donation looks like by region

Six Mississippis, and family land is the thread through them.

The Delta

Row crop ground, catfish operations and towns with far more buildings than population.

Jackson and the center

Older city housing, vacant lots beside occupied houses and small commercial.

The Gulf coast

Storm exposure, elevation requirements and waterfront lots worth more than the houses on them.

The Pine Belt

Timber, hunting land and small-town housing.

Northeast Mississippi

Hill country farms, furniture plant towns and lake property.

The southwest

Historic river town property, pasture and large family tracts held in undivided shares.

Mississippi real estate donation questions, answered

Is a donated deed subject to Mississippi transfer tax?+

Mississippi has no statewide real estate transfer tax on deeds. Recording fees are set locally by the chancery clerk.

I live outside Mississippi. Do I have to travel there to sign?+

No. We prepare the deed in the form Mississippi requires for the county where the property sits, you sign before a notary where you live, and we record it with the chancery clerk.

Our land has been in the family since the 1920s and was never probated. Is it donatable?+

Frequently, once the ownership is established. This is the most common call we take from Mississippi and there are well-worn routes through it. Tell us the county, roughly when the last owner of record died, and how many descendants there are.

Does Mississippi give a state tax deduction for a property donation?+

Mississippi has a state income tax, and how it treats a charitable contribution is set by Mississippi law rather than by us. Your federal deduction follows the usual IRS rules. Take the state question to your own advisor.

The land was sold at a tax sale last year. Is it lost?+

Not necessarily. Mississippi gives a redemption period after a tax sale, and what matters is whether the redemption amount sits well below what the land can sell for. Send the parcel number and the sale date rather than assuming the worst.

We do not provide tax or legal advice. State and local transfer tax rules change; we confirm current requirements when we prepare each deed. Consult your own advisor.
