Property Tax Bills Across Morgantown, Marion County, Mississippi

How Are Property Tax Bills Calculated in Morgantown?

Property tax bills in Morgantown are based on the assessed value of a home and the local tax rate set by Marion County and other taxing authorities. The assessed value is the amount local officials assign to a property for tax purposes, and that figure is multiplied by the applicable tax rate to determine the bill. For a home with a median value of $49,620, the typical property tax bill is $1,048, which is below the national median property tax bill of $2,400 and well below the national median property tax rate of 1.02%.

Several factors can affect what a homeowner pays, including property characteristics, local budgets, and any exemptions that may apply. Because tax bills are tied to assessed value, changes in the market or in local assessments can raise or lower the amount owed. For homeowners, that means even modest changes in value or tax rates can have a direct impact on annual housing costs.
