The median home value is $90,600, lower than the state's $102,350 and far below the national $173,750.

Property records in Leflore County are maintained through the Leflore County Chancery Clerk's Office in Greenwood. The office is the home for recorded deeds, mortgages, and other land documents, which are tied to the county's 17,083 parcels. Searching these records can show who owns a property, how and when it was transferred, and whether loans have been recorded against it.
The Leflore County Chancery Clerk page is the official place to begin. Use it to find the records search for the county and to see how documents are recorded and accessed. Keep in mind that recorded deeds and mortgages in the county's data run from 2006 into 2014, so older or newer documents may need to be requested directly from the office.
