Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves has extended the deadline for property tax payments in storm‑impacted counties, including Attala, to March 3, 2026. The move gives residents extra time to pay without penalties following severe winter storms.

Attala County taxpayers can make payments at the Tax Collector’s office in Kosciusko, by mail, or online through the county’s official website. Officials encourage residents to confirm payment methods and hours to ensure timely submission.

“This extension provides relief for families and businesses affected by the storms,” Gov. Reeves said in a statement. Local officials remind residents this extension applies only to ad valorem property taxes.

For more information, residents can contact the Attala County Tax Collector’s office at 662-289-4711 or visit www.attalacountytax.com.

Drivers are urged to avoid the Natchez Trace Parkway in Tennessee as dangerous winter conditions have forced closures along the northern portion of the route.

The National Park Service says the parkway is impassable north of Hohenwald, with gates closed and locked from Tennessee Highway 46 at milepost 429 to the northern terminus at milepost 442. Officials cited ice-covered roadways, below-freezing temperatures and high winds, with no melting expected.

Park officials also warned that ice-laden trees pose a risk of falling debris in the area.

The Meriwether Lewis Campground and Visitor Contact Station and the Natchez Trace Parkway Visitor Center remain closed.

While much of the Natchez Trace Parkway remains open through central Mississippi, motorists are advised not to attempt travel north into Tennessee until conditions improve.

The National Park Service says updates will be provided as conditions change.
