How to calculate property taxes in Mississippi
To estimate property taxes in Mississippi, multiply the home value by the local property tax rate. This page applies the state average effective rate of 0.79%, so a property valued at $500,000 would have an estimated annual property tax of $3,950.
Mississippi has below-average rates and a homestead exemption for owner-occupied primary residences.
Actual tax bills can include county, city, school district, exemption, and assessment rules, so investors should verify the final number with the local assessor before closing.
