HOA rules in Mississippi

Mississippi has no comprehensive planned-community HOA statute. Ordinary subdivision homeowners' associations generally run on recorded covenants plus the Nonprofit Corporation Act if incorporated. Condominiums are under the Mississippi Condominium Law, Miss. Code § 89-9-1 et seq., which applies only to property submitted as a condominium. Confirm which track applies, then confirm the current Mississippi Code text and your documents. This page is general information, not legal advice.

The retrieved Condominium Law text does not create a statutory fine procedure, numbered hearing-day count, or dollar fine cap. Fine and hearing rights — for both condos and planned communities — come from the recorded declaration and bylaws if at all. Do not invent hearing-day counts or fine caps.

Condo assessments under a recorded declaration of restrictions become a lien only when a notice of assessment is recorded with the chancery clerk (§ 89-9-21); the lien generally expires one year from recordation unless extended or enforcement is begun. Mississippi is not a retrieved "super-lien" state for condo assessments ahead of earlier mortgages. Condo records have no dedicated inspection section in Chapter 89-9; incorporated associations may use nonprofit inspection rights (e.g., five business days' written notice under § 79-11-285). Mississippi has no statewide HOA ombudsman on this page.
