Mississippi homestead exemption

  • Mississippi's homestead exemption covers the first $7,500 of a home's assessed value, but saves an owner under 65 at most $300 of tax.
  • Owners 65 or older or totally disabled by January 1 are exempt on the first $7,500 of assessed value ($75,000 of true value) without the $300 limit.
  • Owner-occupied single-family homes (Class I) are assessed at 10% of true value.
  • Apply to the county tax assessor between January 1 and April 1; once allowed, the exemption continues each year unless the ownership, use or tier changes.

This is the property tax homestead exemption, not the homestead exemption that protects a home from creditors in bankruptcy.

Does Mississippi have a homestead exemption?

Mississippi's homestead exemption covers the first $7,500 of a home's assessed value, but saves an owner under 65 at most $300 of tax. The calculator does not subtract it: the rates already reflect the exemptions owners received.

Why might a Mississippi tax bill differ from this estimate?

The rate is what owner-occupiers in Mississippi paid on average in 2020 through 2024, as a share of their homes' value. An actual bill depends on the home's assessed value, the levies where it sits and the exemptions its owner claims.

What the calculator leaves out

  • The rate is the total real estate tax owner-occupiers reported paying divided by the total value they reported for their homes, not a tax rate set by law.
  • The rate already reflects the exemptions, caps and credits typical owner-occupiers received, so the calculator does not subtract a homestead exemption again.
  • An actual bill depends on the home's assessed value, the levies where it sits and the exemptions its owner claims.
  • Survey estimates for small counties have wide margins of error.

Rates and medians are American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates: taxes owners paid in those years, not 2026 bills.
