Landautomate keeps an operating calendar for independent landlords: what needs doing on a rental, when it is due, and why. This page is the Mississippi content from our reviewed rule base. Every item below carries its sources and the date we last checked them.
This guide is the reading version of our Mississippi rule base. In the app, the same rules become dated tasks on each of your Mississippi properties, timed to your purchase date, lease dates, property age, and climate, with an email before each one is due. The free preview shows a sample of that schedule for Mississippi in under a minute, no account needed.
Mississippi landlords commonly track 3 state and local compliance obligations, each listed below with its schedule, its sources, and the date we last verified it. Among them: file Mississippi LLC annual report by April 15, pay Mississippi property taxes on or before February 1, and return security deposit with itemized notice within 45 days of move-out.
Mississippi LLCs, and out-of-state LLCs registered to do business in Mississippi, must file an annual report online with the Secretary of State between January 1 and April 15 each year (no fee for a Mississippi LLC, $250 for an out-of-state LLC), and missing it can lead to administrative dissolution of a Mississippi LLC or revocation of an out-of-state LLC's registration.
Mississippi property taxes for the prior year are due on or before February 1, after which unpaid taxes accrue interest of 0.5% per month and the parcel can be sold at the county tax sale, usually held on the last Monday in August.
Mississippi landlords must return the rest of a security deposit within 45 days after the tenancy ends, possession is delivered, and the tenant asks for it, keeping only amounts for unpaid rent, repair of damage beyond ordinary wear and tear, cleaning, and other reasonable costs of the tenant's default, listed in an itemized written notice, and since bad-faith withholding can cost up to $200 plus actual damages, mailing the notice and any balance together by certified mail (return receipt) proves the date.

Landlords in Mississippi plan upkeep around a humid climate: this guide lists 8 seasonal maintenance items for Mississippi in calendar order, each with its timing and the date we last verified it. Among them: do spring severe-weather prep: trees, drainage, and a household shelter plan, schedule a termite inspection before spring swarm season, and smoke and CO detector seasonal test.
Mississippi's tornado season builds through late winter and peaks in April, with nearly twice as many tornadoes as any other month, so trimming dead or weak limbs, clearing gutters and storm drains, and making sure everyone in the household knows the safest interior room on the lowest floor limits storm damage and speeds sheltering when a warning comes.
Native subterranean termites, found in every Mississippi county, swarm from mid-February to mid-May, and Formosan termites, which damage buildings much faster, swarm from late April through June, so an early February inspection that also looks for wood touching the soil, plus a check that any termite contract covers Formosan termites, can catch activity before swarms begin across most of the state.
An annual full test of smoke and CO detectors (beyond battery swaps) confirms every alarm actually sounds.
At Jackson the first 90 degree day arrives on average by mid-May and the last comes in early October, so a spring tune-up that cleans the coils, checks the refrigerant, clears the condensate drain, and replaces the filter helps prevent a cooling failure in peak heat, when contractors are busiest.
Hurricane season starts June 1 and Katrina's gusts reached 100 mph or more as far inland as Hattiesburg and Laurel, so repairing the roof, trimming dead limbs, clearing gutters and drains, and confirming wind and flood coverage in May (including windpool wind coverage in the six coast area counties when a policy excludes wind) readies the property in time, since a new flood policy usually takes 30 days to begin and most insurers stop accepting new applications once a hurricane enters the Gulf.
Summer humidity drives mold growth; verifying dehumidification protects air quality and finishes.
Confirming drainage and sump operation at peak hurricane season prevents flooding damage.
First freezes typically reach north and central Mississippi from late October to mid-November and the immediate Gulf Coast from late November to early December, so removing and draining hoses, covering outdoor faucets, and insulating exposed pipes in crawlspaces, attics, and other unheated spaces by mid-October helps prevent burst pipes when a hard freeze arrives.
