George County, Mississippi property-tax payment and appeal deadlines
Tax bills, payment rules, and valuation-review windows are controlled by the local jurisdiction and the governing state framework. The reviewed record below separates published figures from items that still require confirmation with George County Tax Assessor/Collector (Lena Jordan).
Rate context
Confirmcounty, municipal, school, and other Mississippi taxing-district millage varies; no single countywide effective rate was published by the official source reviewed.
Statement mailing
Confirmthe official county source reviewed did not publish a specific 2026 tax-bill mailing date.
Payment deadline
Published2026 tax-year property taxes are due on or before February 1, 2027; Mississippi permits installment payments, with interest/penalty applying after the February 1 deadline.
Valuation protest
PublishedAugust 3, 2026 (the first Monday in August), before 9:00 a.m.; Mississippi's standard appeal is filed with the Board of Supervisors/Clerk before the August meeting, and no more specific county notice date was published.
Do not assume a grace period.
The reviewed record identifies the payment timing above but does not establish a universal penalty schedule for this page. Late charges, interest, collection costs, tax-sale procedures, and lien or foreclosure timelines can depend on state law and the local collector’s process. If the deadline is close or a balance is delinquent, contact the tax collector directly and request the current payoff amount in writing.
Treat a published payment deadline as a hard operational date and retain your receipt or confirmation number.
From assessment to collection
01Valuation and notice
Review the assessment notice as soon as it arrives. The protest window may run from the notice date rather than from the payment due date.
02Statement and account review
Match the tax statement to the parcel or account number and confirm exemptions, assessed value, taxing units, credits, and balance.
03Payment confirmation
Use the official collector channel, then save the receipt, transaction reference, and date posted. A bank submission is not always the same as a county posting date.
