Highest Property Taxes in Mississippi

Effective property tax rate is median real estate taxes paid divided by median home value, the standard published measure. It is the fairest way to compare counties, because a low rate on an expensive house can still mean a very large bill.

Where does yours land? Every county in America is somewhere on this scale, including the one you live in.
