1Opinion of the Court
COLEMAN, JUSTICE, FOR THE COURT:
¶ 1. The City of Horn Lake and DeSoto County filed the present appeal after the DeSoto County Chancery Court granted Sass Muni-V, LLC's (Sass Muni's) motion for summary judgment. The result of the chancery court's decision voided a 2008 tax sale at which Sass Muni purchased some property in DeSoto County and also refunded Sass Muni the purchase price of $530,508. Due to the clear and unambiguous language of Mississippi Code Section 27-43-3, the chancery clerk's failure to give proper notice of the tax sale renders the sale void. Therefore, we affirm.
