Rankin County enforces property maintenance standards for blight under MS Code 21-19-11 (municipal authority) and county nuisance ordinance. Notice period typically 10 to 30 days.
Rankin County Code Enforcement addresses blighted properties through the county nuisance ordinance and authority derived from MS Code 19-5-105 (county nuisance abatement). Common violations include accumulated junk, inoperable vehicles not in enclosed storage, overgrown vegetation, collapsed or unsafe structures, and debris piles. Property owners receive written notice with 10 to 30 day compliance window. Unresolved violations proceed to Board of Supervisors hearing. County may abate (mow, clear, demolish) and assess costs against the property; under MS Code 19-5-105 these costs attach as a lien collectible with property taxes. Vacant dangerous structures may be condemned and demolished.
Written notice with 10-30 day compliance. Fines per county ordinance $100 to $500 per violation. Abatement costs lien against property. Dangerous structures: demolition with cost recovery.
