Property-tax appeals in Mississippi
Deadlines, evidence, and a packet you file yourself — for homes, multifamily, and commercial property in Mississippi.
State rules verified from public sources| Deadline rule | File a written objection with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors while the assessment rolls are open for public inspection in July, and no later than the Board of Supervisors' equalization meeting beginning the first Monday in August (Miss. Code 27-35-89 and 27-35-93); a person who fails to file objections is concluded by the assessment, with narrow statutory exceptions |
|---|---|
| First hearing body | County Board of Supervisors, sitting as the board of equalization; further appeal to the circuit court |
The assessor's values are turned over to the Board of Supervisors on the first Monday in July and the roll is open for inspection in the two weeks before the August meeting (Pearl River County; Madison County's published 2025 notice set the filing cutoff at 9:00 a.m. on the first Monday in August). An appeal from the Board's decision goes to circuit court, generally within 20 days from the mailing of the Board's notice (Miss. Code 27-35-119, as summarised in secondary sources checked against the county notices). Mississippi also has a state Board of Tax Appeals for certain assessment objections. No filing fee was stated in the sources checked.
What wins in Mississippi
Homes are argued on comparable sales and uniformity. Income property is argued on the income approach — rent roll, expenses, and a supported cap rate. The packet builds the argument that matches your property type, with your evidence organised as exhibits.
