Wilkinson Cnty. Bd. of Supervisors v. Quality Farms, Inc., No. 98-CT-00752-SCT (Miss. Jan. 15, 1998). “Miss. Code Ann. § 19-13-23 (Rev. 1995). The county would have us hold that this means that any claim must be filed within the first month that it is owing, and any failure to file immediately and correctly bars seeking payment later.”
