Mississippi property tax millage by county, city and school district

What the figures are

This page reproduces the 2024-25 millage the Department of Revenue lists for each county's county funds, each city and each school district, with the 2023-24 figure beside it, and the Department's own summary of county average millage rates. The spreadsheet prints no total rate for any place; a property's millage depends on which of these lines apply to it. Period: tax year 2024-25, the latest column of the Department of Revenue's 2012-2025 millage spreadsheet (September 2025).

Mills. "One mill is equal to 1/1,000 of a dollar." "If the millage rate for your area is 100 mills, you would pay $100.00 for every $1,000 of assessed value." (DOR Property Tax FAQ)

Assessed value. "The assessment ratios for property are set by the Mississippi Constitution." Class I, "Single-family, owner-occupied, residential real property, at ten percent (10%) of true value." (DOR Property Tax FAQ)

County average. The "per County" sheet is headed "SUMMARY OF COUNTY AVERAGE MILLAGE RATES" and notes: "MANY OF THE FIGURES LISTED IN THE REPORT ABOVE ARE AVERAGES BASED ON THE NUMBER OF DISTRICTS." It does not say how each average is built, so it is ranked here only as the Department's summary figure, not as the rate on any bill. (DOR spreadsheet, sheet "per County")

• The lines are separate levies and the spreadsheet does not say which school district serves which part of a county or city, so they are never added here.
• The spreadsheet's AVERAGE row, 118.42 mills for 2024-25, is the plain mean of the 82 county averages (checked).
• 22 towns print 0 mills (no levy); 2 lines in Bolivar County are printed only as "CSD" and are shown as printed.
• 19 school district lines (in Bolivar, Chickasaw, Clay, Holmes, Leflore, Montgomery, Oktibbeha and Sunflower counties) print "---" for 2024-25 and 2023-24 and are left out; the spreadsheet does not say why.
• The county-average sheet spells Greene County "GEEENE"; it is matched to Greene here.
• The sheet of lines is named "per HE Report"; the spreadsheet does not explain the name.

Counties, 2024-25

For each county: the county average (mills), the cities and towns, the school districts, as the source prints them, and the number of millage lines listed. The lines are different kinds of levy, so no lowest, median or highest is computed for a county, and nothing is added. Click a heading to sort; click a county to jump to its lines.

Highest and lowest millage lines

The ten highest and ten lowest of the 81 counties ranked statewide by county average millage, as printed.

Every millage line, county by county

Each list is in the source's order and wording; nothing is added or ranked within a county; † marks a flagged row. Open a county to see its lines.

Rows shown as printed but checked

Every row is shown exactly as the source prints it. This one failed one of this page's checks, so it is marked † and left out of rankings, medians and the drawings; it was not changed.

• Panola County average (Panola): Its county average moved -47% from 2023-24 (131.19 to 69.99 mills); its component lines are shown as printed. Not ranked.

The spreadsheet prints no total millage for any place and does not say which school district serves which city, so no example bill is computed.

How to appeal an assessment in Mississippi

1. Request a hearing with the county Board of Supervisors (the county's Chancery Clerk has the details): "Normally, an appeal must be filed by the 1st Monday in August preceding the due date of the taxes". (source)

From the Department of Revenue's property tax FAQ, which cites no statute and does not describe any appeal beyond the Board of Supervisors.

The official notice and the body hearing the appeal govern the dates; this is not legal advice.
