Bay St. Louis, Miss.—One-hundred and forty-five (145) properties valued at $1,050,414 are up for auction in the City of Bay St. Louis. These tax-forfeited properties will be sold at drastically reduced prices.
“The Secretary of State’s Office has launched a major push to sell tax-forfeited properties in Mississippi,” says Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann. “Bay St. Louis has begun a dramatic revitalization of its City. We hope to assist their recovery by selling tax forfeited properties in the area.”
“We appreciate Secretary Hosemann’s support of our desire to get these State held properties back to private ownership, available for development and on the community tax rolls,” says Bay St. Louis Mayor Les Fillingame. “We have great expectations of success and want to thank his office, in advance, for their tremendous unselfish effort in assisting us.”
