Use this placeholding line as the operating mission: the materials assembled here collect the county offices, service pages, parking notes, and community resources that people most frequently seek. The source material includes direct names, phones, and emails for several county officials, plus repeated website snippets and truncated lines that require verification. Below is a compact, actionable guide built from those excerpts, with conflicts and missing data called out so you can confirm critical details before relying on them.
County government quick reference
County Administrator: Kate Victor, 662-234-2717, kvictor@lafayettecoms.com.
Tax Assessor & Collector: Rocky Kennedy, 662-234-5562, rkennedy@lafayettecoms.com.

These entries come directly from the county snippets provided and are the most concrete service-level contacts available in the source material. Note the repeated county email domain lafayettecoms.com in official addresses; this domain appears frequently in the source but should be verified against current county records before sending sensitive documents.
Board of Supervisors: names, addresses, and conflicts to verify
The Board of Supervisors listings in the source are presented with duplicate and inconsistent rows for District 5. The verbatim table entries are reproduced here exactly as they appear in the source and should be reconciled with the county clerk before use:
- Dist. 5: Greg Bynum, VPresident, 300 N. Lamar Boulevard, Oxford, MS 38655, Mobile: 662-801-6431, blarson@lafayettecoms.com
- Dist. 2: John Morgan, 300 N. Lamar Boulevard Oxford, MS 38655, Mobile: 662-801-0582, jmorgan@lafayettecoms.com
- Dist. 3: Tim Gordon, 300 N. Lamar Boulevard, Oxford, MS 38655, Mobile: 662-832-4291, tgordon@lafayettecoms.com
- Dist. 4: Scott Allen, 300 N. Lamar Boulevard Oxford, MS 38655, Mobile: 662-801-7787, sallen@lafayettecoms.com
- Dist. 5: Greg Bynum, Vice President, 300 N. Lamar Boulevard, Oxford, MS 38655, Mobile: 662-816-9235, gbynum@lafayettecoms.com
Reconciliation/flags: District 5 appears twice with two different mobile numbers and two different emails, one of which is blarson@lafayettecoms.com and does not match the listed name. The Board table also uses lafayettecoms.com in emails. Verify roster, titles, mobile numbers, and email domain with the County Administrator or the Circuit Clerk before relying on these contacts.
Courts, detention, and law enforcement access
“The Mississippi Third Circuit Court District Attorney’s Office is housed in a Lafayette County facility. Visit the District Attorney’s website for more information.” That is the extent of the DA information in the source excerpts; no phone or address was provided.
Detention center location and parking are described plainly: “Located just west of the Oxford Square on Jackson Avenue, the detention center has free parking for visitors in front of the building. If this lot is full, paid and free parking is available in the area.” Related pages in the source mention the Lafayette County Sheriff’s Department, 911 Dispatch, Justice Court, and Oxford Municipal Court. For visiting hours, rules, or inmate information, callers should confirm the official detention-center name and phone number; the source does not include those specifics.
The source also references a justice-related complex north of the Lafayette Schools campus: “Just north of the Lafayette Schools campus, this complex provides visitors with free parking.” That phrase appears twice and is linked in the snippets to the Lafayette County Arena, Justice Court, and Emergency Management. The arena itself is mentioned only as: “Request to use the arena on the Lafayette County Arena website.” No arena contact or URL was supplied.
Where to pay bills and manage property matters
The guide’s stated purpose includes “where to pay property taxes and vehicle tags,” yet the source provides no direct office address, hours, or online payment links for those transactions. The closest explicit public-official contact is the Tax Assessor & Collector, Rocky Kennedy, at 662-234-5562 and rkennedy@lafayettecoms.com. The source also includes the call-to-action “Pay Solid Waste Bill Online,” but no link or payment portal is supplied in the snippets. Before visiting or completing transactions, verify the county’s payment portals and accepted payment methods by calling the Tax Assessor or the general county phone, 662-234-4651.
Voting, agendas, and minutes
The material reiterates that the guide will explain “how to access voting and election information, where to find court and county‑board agendas/minutes,” but the snippets do not include the election office contact, schedules, or URLs. Circuit Clerk Jeff Busby is listed with contact information and sometimes circuit clerks administer local election records; however, the source does not state that explicitly. For registration deadlines, polling-site locations, and board agenda schedules, confirm directly with the county or the Circuit Clerk’s office.
Library, public venues, and parking
“The Lafayette County & Oxford Public Library is a joint venture between the Lafayette County Board of Supervisors and the Oxford Board of Aldermen, with funding from both the county and city. The Library is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 9 am to 5:30 p.m., and…” The text truncates; the source does not provide the remaining hours or holiday closures. The arena and the complex north of the Lafayette Schools campus are both described as having free visitor parking; use the county arena request page for reservations when available.
Community, social services, and homelessness assistance
The source supplies a list of community-service contacts and URLs. Key entries reproduced verbatim include:
- Affairs Office, 662-236-3111, “Serves as a guide for Lafayette County veterans.”
- WIN Job Center, 662-236-7201, mdes.ms.gov/win-job-centers/oxford-win-job-center, “Job placement and training services.”
- Yoknapatawpha Arts Council, 662-236-6429, oxfordarts.com, “Offers a diverse range of arts programs, professional development services, and support to serve local artists and residents.”
- Communicare: Project THRIVE, 662-816-2146, communicarems.org/project-thrive1, “Single point of entry for Lafayette County residents who are either homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.”
- MUTEH, 601-960-0557, muteh.org, “Statewide initiative to end homelessness.”
- Family Crisis Services of Northwest Mississippi, 662-234-9929, oxfordadvocacy.org, “A comprehensive victim services organization.”
- Mississippi Blood Services, 662-234-0363, msblood.org.
- Mississippi Coats4Kidz, 314-749-6011, mscoats4kidz.org.
- Mississippi Department of Child Protective Services, 662-234-1863, mdcps.ms.gov.
- Mississippi Department of Human Services, 662-234-1861, mdhs.ms.gov.
- Natchez Trace Council, Boy Scouts of America, natcheztracecouncil.org, 662-842-2871.
- North Mississippi Exchange Family Center, 662-502-3228, nmsfamilycenter.org.
These agency entries are verbatim from the source. Phone numbers in the original snippets sometimes include extra spaces; validate numbers on official organization pages when you need service.
Parking, transit, and practical navigation notes
The detention center is “Located just west of the Oxford Square on Jackson Avenue,” and several county facilities are described as providing free parking, including the complex north of Lafayette Schools. The source references a “City Parking Guide Oxford – Transit Guide” for broader parking context, but no URL was included. If parking maps matter for a visit to courts, the detention center, or county offices, confirm current parking rules through city or county parking guides.
Data quality, conflicts, and immediate verification items
The source contains truncated lines, duplicate entries, and inconsistent formatting. Key items to verify before acting: Board of Supervisors roster and District 5 duplicate entries, correct county email domain and individual official email addresses, the District Attorney facility address and phone, detention-center official name and visiting rules, property tax and vehicle-tag payment locations or portals, full library hours, and election office contact and voting information. The county general phone in the source is 662-234-4651 and can serve as the first verification call.
Final point: the compendium above compiles every named contact, parking note, and service reference present in the source excerpts, and it preserves the truncated and inconsistent lines that require follow-up. “Did you find what you were looking for? This site is new and we are continuing to improve it. We welcome your feedback.” Keep these discrepancies on the record and prioritize verification with county offices so Lafayette County residents can rely on up-to-date addresses, payment portals, and election information.
