Pearl River County is governed by five elected District Supervisors. The five supervisors are elected to four-year terms by the citizens of their district.
All fiscal year taxes that have not been paid by the last Friday before the tax sale will be auctioned at the County's annual Tax Sale. After a lien has been sold, the owner of the property has two years from the purchase date to pay the taxes plus the interest (1.5% per month) accrued up to that date through the Chancery Clerk's office.
