Records Retention: How Long Do I Have to Keep Everything?

Municipal courts in Mississippi receive records retention guidance from the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH).

For the most accurate and up-to-date information, I have included a link above to the official MDAH records retention schedule.

At the time of this posting, the most recent version available on the MDAH website is dated Tuesday, January 21, 2025.

If you are reviewing the schedule, pages 47 and 48 specifically address records related to municipal courts.
