How to pay Alcorn County property tax online
Alcorn County links taxpayers to the Delta Computer Systems property-tax service for county property information and online payments. Starting from the county-linked portal helps avoid similarly named commercial lookup sites and gives you access to the account information associated with Alcorn County.
Search Alcorn County property-tax records
The county-linked real-property search accepts several identifiers, so you do not necessarily need a parcel number to begin. The live search currently provides fields for the owner name, property address, parcel number, Section/Township/Range and PPIN.
The system formats the owner field as last name, first name. This can help when you know the taxpayer name but not the parcel number.
Use the property address when it is available. Check the returned parcel carefully before treating the result as your tax account.
A parcel number or PPIN is generally the strongest identifier when you already have it on a tax notice or property record.

When Alcorn County property taxes are due
Mississippi Department of Revenue guidance says property is assessed annually to the owner of record on January 1, with the corresponding bill generally issued later in November or December. Property taxes are due on or before February 1 of the following year.
If February 1 falls on a weekend or legal holiday, Mississippi guidance allows payment on the following Monday without penalty or interest. Because calendar dates and local operating schedules change, check the current bill and the Tax Collector before relying on a prior year’s deadline.

The county currently lists the Tax Assessor at 306 South Cass Street, Corinth, MS 38834, the same street address published for the county Tax Collector. The Assessor’s published phone number is 662-286-7733, with Monday–Friday hours of 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Alcorn County Chancery Clerk
The Chancery Clerk maintains land-related records and is the county contact identified for tax-sale redemptions and pay-backs to tax-sale purchasers. The office is at 501 Waldron Street, Corinth, MS 38834 and publishes 662-286-7700.
City of Corinth Tax Collector
The City of Corinth maintains a separate Tax Collector’s Office at 300 Childs Street, Corinth, MS 38834, phone 662-286-1337. If your bill or notice specifically identifies the City of Corinth, use the city’s tax office rather than assuming the county payment route applies.
Homestead exemption goes through the Tax Assessor
Homestead exemption can reduce property taxes for eligible Mississippi homeowners, but the application is not filed with the Tax Collector. Mississippi DOR directs eligible homeowners to the county Tax Assessor where the home is located.
The statewide filing period is January 1 through April 1. Mississippi DOR says applicants generally must own and occupy the property as their primary residence on January 1 and meet the applicable statutory eligibility requirements.
Information and documents to prepare
Mississippi DOR advises applicants to check county-specific requirements before visiting. Its current statewide guidance identifies information that can include:
What happens when Alcorn County real-estate taxes remain unpaid
Mississippi DOR states that penalties and interest accrue when property taxes are not paid on time and that delinquent real estate can become subject to the county tax-sale process. Alcorn County publishes additional local tax-sale procedures.
The county’s Tax Collector page states that Alcorn County holds its annual tax sale on the last Monday in August at 8:30 AM. The county’s tax-sale information says the sale is conducted in person at the courthouse and that bidders or their representatives must be present.
Contact the Tax Collector about the current real-estate tax balance and the status of the account rather than relying on an old saved total.
Alcorn County identifies the Chancery Clerk as the office that handles redemptions and pay-backs to tax-sale purchasers.
Important Alcorn County tax-sale details
- The county says its sale is held on the last Monday in August and begins at 8:30 AM.
- The county describes the sale as in-person rather than a phone or fax bidding process.
- Payment in full for successful bids is described as due at the end of the sale by cash or certified funds.
- The county states that an owner, mortgage holder or other interested party has a two-year redemption period following the tax sale.
- The Chancery Clerk is identified as the office handling redemptions.
- The City of Corinth conducts a separate municipal tax sale, so county and city sale procedures should not be confused.
If the property-tax search or payment does not look right
Online data may lag recent courthouse activity. Compare the parcel identifiers and contact the county office if ownership information appears stale.
Assessment and valuation questions belong with the Alcorn County Tax Assessor, not the Tax Collector’s payment counter.
Keep the confirmation or receipt and contact the Tax Collector. Avoid making a duplicate payment only because the online record has not refreshed yet.
Call the responsible office and ask for the current payoff amount and status before sending an amount copied from an older notice.
Contact the Tax Assessor during the January 1–April 1 application period and ask about the documents required for your situation.
Use the separate City of Corinth Tax Collector contact instead of assuming the Alcorn County payment portal is the correct destination.
