Sunflower County property tax rate vs the rest of Mississippi
Sunflower County has an effective property tax rate of 0.88% — its median real-estate tax bill ($909) as a share of its median home value ($103,400). That is above Mississippi's 0.58% state average, and ranks the 18th highest of the 82 counties in Mississippi.

How Sunflower County property tax is calculated
Sunflower County's assessor sets your home's assessed value, and local millage rates from the county, municipality and school district are applied to it; the 0.88% effective rate rolls all of that into one share of market value. To estimate your tax, multiply your home value by 0.88% (or your exact local rate), then subtract any homestead or senior exemption you qualify for. The calculator above does this and shows both the annual bill and the monthly escrow amount.
