Recording Mineral Deeds in Mississippi

Mississippi mineral deeds are recorded at the county chancery clerk's office where the mineral interest sits. The chancery clerk maintains the public real property records that establish the chain of title. To be valid as constructive notice to subsequent purchasers, a mineral deed must be properly executed, acknowledged before a notary, and recorded in the proper county. Recording fees in Mississippi typically run $20-30 per page plus state and county taxes; specifics vary by county.
