Pursuant to the 16th Section Reform Act effective July 1, 1978, school districts are required to file copies of 16th Section leases with the Secretary of State’s Office. This database contains all leases filed through June 30, 2010. Leases and changes filed after June 30, 2010, will be added by June 30, 2011.
This office relies on the submission of documents from the local school districts. Pursuant to Mississippi law the official land records are kept by the Chancery Clerk in the county in which the land is located. This web site should not be relied on for deraignment of title purposes.
