Mississippi has adopted the Residential Builders Act requiring licensing for residential contractors over $50,000 and providing consumer remedies. Mississippi law permits mechanics' and materialmen's liens against improved property. The Mississippi Right-to-Cure statute requires pre-suit notice and opportunity to repair for certain residential construction defect claims.
