Mississippi lien-release procedure for liened camper sales

If the camper carries an active lien, the seller cannot transfer clean title to the buyer until the lien is released. Mississippi handles this through a documented sequence that the lienholder, seller, and buyer must complete in order. Skipping a step often means the new title is issued with the lien still noted, blocking resale.

  1. Lienholder completes the lien release section on the back of the existing Mississippi title.
  2. Owner submits the released title and title application at the county tax collector's office.
  3. Pay the title fee and receive a clean Mississippi title.
