State Overview
Property Taxes in Mississippi
Mississippi taxes rank well below national average
Mississippi homeowners pay an effective property tax rate of 0.743%, nearly 30% lower than the national median of 1.03%. This places Mississippi among the most affordable states for property taxes, offering significant savings compared to higher-tax states in the Northeast and Midwest.
Wide range of county tax rates across the state
Effective tax rates swing dramatically across Mississippi's 82 counties, from a low of 0.346% in Issaquena County to a high of 1.240% in Coahoma County. This three-and-a-half-fold variation means a homeowner's tax bill can differ drastically depending on county location, despite statewide affordability.
Typical Mississippi homeowner pays under $1,000 yearly
The median property tax bill in Mississippi is just $931 on a median home value of $127,595—less than one-third the national median tax of $2,690. This combination of low rates and lower home values makes Mississippi one of the most affordable states for property ownership.
Madison County stands out with highest bills
Madison County residents face the state's highest median property tax bill at $2,071, more than six times the burden in Issaquena County. This concentration of higher taxes in certain counties suggests variation driven by local services and assessments rather than uniform state policy.
Mississippi: a low-tax haven for homeowners
Mississippi consistently delivers below-average property taxes, making it attractive for budget-conscious homebuyers seeking affordability. County location matters significantly—choose wisely, and you'll enjoy some of the nation's lowest property tax bills.
