The Harrison County Treasurer's office mails late notices for personal property taxes after July 1, every year. If taxes have not been paid after 30 days then the amounts are certified to the Harrison County Circuit Court Clerk as liens. The delinquent tax amount then accrues interest until the date that it is paid in full.
