Questions
What does the Mississippi Census property tax indicator mean?
It is 0.72 %: median yearly real estate taxes ($1,215) divided by median home value ($169,800) for owner-occupied homes in the 2020-2024 ACS. It is 23 % below the national ratio and ranks 32nd among the 50 states and DC. It is not a current tax rate.
Which county in Mississippi has the highest Census ratio?
Coahoma County, at 1.12 % (median bill $1,012). The lowest is Amite County, at 0.38 %. These are ratios of survey medians, not applicable county tax rates.
Can this predict tax on a $300,000 rental in Mississippi?
No. A ratio of two survey medians is not a parcel tax rate or the median of individual rates. Ask the property assessor or tax collector for an assessment using the property address, purchase circumstances, exemptions and local levies.
About the data
Census indicator = median real estate taxes paid / median home value for owner-occupied homes. The ratio of two medians is not the median of individual property tax rates. The 2020-2024 survey is historical, excludes rental housing from these measures and carries sampling uncertainty, especially in small counties. It does not provide current levies, reassessment values or a bill for a specific parcel.
