Before You File, Know This
In Mississippi, the Board of Supervisors can adjust your value in either direction once you appeal — it can be lowered, left the same, or raised. File only when the comparable-sales evidence clearly supports a lower value. This check is designed to flag those cases.
In your state, the appeal board can adjust your value in either direction, including upward. You decide whether to file. HomeTaxAppeal provides comparable-sales evidence and estimates to inform that decision; it does not control the board's determination and is not responsible for an outcome that raises your value.
How to Appeal in Mississippi
File your appeal with your county's Board of Supervisors by the deadline above. Contact your local county assessor's office for the specific portal or form required in your county.
If your appeal is denied, escalation options include: Informal review with the county tax assessor's office (review of the appraised true value before the equalization meeting) → Objection before the county Board of Supervisors, sitting as the board of equalization, at its first-Monday-of-August meeting (Miss. Code Ann. §27-35-89) → Appeal to the circuit court of the county within 10 days after adjournment of the meeting, on bond (Miss. Code Ann. §11-51-77); tried anew as a preference case → Appeal to the Mississippi Supreme Court from the circuit court judgment (Miss. Code Ann. §11-51-79).
