Mississippi property tax appeals, 2027
In Mississippi, you appeal a property assessment to the County Board of Supervisors, and the deadline is the board of supervisors' August meeting, which begins the first Monday in August. Each county below lists its own date, how to file and who hears the appeal. Sale prices are not public record in Mississippi, so evidence leans on the county’s own data, listings and independent appraisals.
