Phillips County's median home valued at $76,200 combined with the 0.656% rate produces a median property tax of $500 annually. With a mortgage, residents pay roughly $970; without, about $375—reflecting the county's historically affordable but fully valued real estate.
Strong case for assessment review
Given Phillips County's higher-than-average effective rate, homeowners should carefully review their assessments against recent arm's-length sales. An appeal could generate meaningful savings, especially if your property was assessed before recent market downturns.
