  Item 4.01  Changes to Registrant's Certifying Accountant
  Dismissal of Independent
  Accountant
  On June 30, 2008,
  the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Parkway Properties Inc. (the
  "Company") unanimously approved the dismissal of Ernst & Young LLP
  ("E&Y") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
  During the
  Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, and in the
  interim period between December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008, there were no
  disagreements between the Company and E&Y on any matter of accounting
  principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or
  procedure which, if not resolved to E&Y's satisfaction, would have caused
  E&Y to make reference to the matter of the disagreement in connection with
  their reports.
  The audit
  reports of E&Y on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and
  its subsidiaries as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and
  2006, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were
  they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
  principles.  E&Y's report on the Company's consolidated financial
  statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 and dated February 27, 2008 was
  issued on an unqualified basis in conjunction with the filing of the Company's
  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
  None of the
  reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred
  within the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 or in
  the subsequent interim period through June 30, 2008.
  The Company has
  requested, and E&Y has furnished, a letter addressed to the Securities and
  Exchange Commission stating that E&Y agrees with the above statements made
  by the Company.  A copy of E&Y's letter dated July 7, 2008 is filed as
  Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
  Engagement of Independent
  Accountant
  Also on June 30,
  2008, the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors unanimously
  approved the engagement of KPMG LLP ("KPMG") as its new independent registered
  public accounting firm, effective immediately.
  Since 2005, KPMG
  has audited the consolidated historical-cost and consolidated current-value
  financial statements of Parkway Properties Office Fund, LP (the "Fund").  The
  Company owns a 25% interest in the Fund.  Since the Company is the sole general
  partner and has the authority to make major decisions on behalf of the Fund,
  thereby giving the Company a controlling interest, the Fund is included in the
  Company's consolidated financial statements.  KPMG's report on the Fund's consolidated
  historical-cost and consolidated current-value financial statements for the
  year ended December 31, 2007 and dated February 26, 2008 was issued on an
  unqualified basis in conjunction with the filing of the Company's Annual Report
  on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

  During the
  Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and in the
  subsequent interim period through June 30, 2008, the Company did not consult
  with KPMG regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i)
  and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
