ZIP Code 39401

In ZIP code 39401, which covers Hattiesburg, homes carry a median value of $134,300 while the county-level property tax rate sits at 0.81%. That combination yields an annual tax bill of roughly $1,088 before any exemptions. With median household income at $41,127, that bill equals about 2.6% of a household's yearly earnings — a meaningful slice, though per-capita income of $26,416 shows many individual earners have tighter margins. A 7.00% combined sales tax adds further cost to everyday purchases. Home prices here stay within reach of local wages, but the full tax picture still weighs on working households.
