Quitclaim Deed-What would you do?

So, I am based out of Mississippi.  I went to a tax sale at my city hall in my town three years ago.  I bought a property, and I ended up receiving the property through the process.  I now own the property via a quitclaim deed.  Called the tax assessor's office today to see what taxes are owed on the property as I haven't paid the taxes on it since I acquired the property because it had a mobile home on it that got repossessed from a foreclosure through the owner's mortgage company.  So now I have two acres of vacant land way out in the county.  The tax assessor's office said the value of the property is $7,700.  The taxes I owe are for 2013 at $153, 2014 at $105, and 2015 at $66.  What should I do to start the process of getting the property into my name, such as title and everything?  I have no idea about the process, and my initial thought was to not pay taxes and let someone else take it over via a tax sale, but if there is value here, I would like to tap into it.  Thanks for any help.

I'd just talk to city hall where you bought it or the county assessor's office and ask how to do it. Cheaper than an atty I would think.
