ZIP Code 39529

In ZIP code 39529, near Bay Saint Louis, the county-level effective property tax rate sits at 0.71%, so a home's assessed value determines the yearly bill more than the rate itself. A higher-priced house pays proportionally more, and what that means for any household depends on earnings against both the tax and the 7.00% combined sales tax on purchases. Buyers weighing a move here should compare their expected income with the price of homes they're considering, since the property tax scales directly with value while the sales tax applies to everyday spending regardless of home price.
