DUTIES OF THE ASSESSOR:
The Assessor has the responsibility of discovery, listing, and valuation of all property in Pike County. All taxable property valued by the Assessor is then taxed ad valorem or ‘according to value’. The Assessor’s Office also assists homeowners in the application process for Homestead Exemption, maintains records of ownership for all properties assessed in the county, registers mobile homes and appraises furniture, fixtures, machinery, equipment, and inventory used in business operations. Every four years, we are required to reappraise the county and bring our values closer to fair market value. With nearly 27,000 parcels to be appraised, the Pike County Assessor’s Office uses the mass appraisal system. It is a statistical model used to value properties. This is the same approach used in many of the counties and parishes across the United States. It has standards of accuracy and those standards are applied to the tax roll to ensure that we’ve got everybody valued appropriately.
IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER:
HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION:
Homestead Exemption is a privilege offered to eligible taxpayers by the State of Mississippi. The exemption is not granted automatically. An application must be filed in the Assessor’s office and each taxpayer must qualify for the exemption.
If you are already receiving Homestead Exemption, it is not necessary to reapply each year unless one of the following changes has occurred prior to January 1, 2018:
