Good morning!

The deadline to sign up for homestead exemption is April 1.

*****IF you were born in 1960 you’re now eligible for the over 65 exemption.****

You can reapply at the Picayune or Poplarville tax office, no appointment necessary considering we’ve slowed down quite a bit. However, you are more than welcome to make an appointment at either office.

If you have any questions on whether or not you need to refile and/or sign up for homestead, do not hesitate to give us a phone call and we will be happy to help you!

Good morning, y’all!

Unfortunately today our drive thru will be closed in our Picayune location, as we are down two clerks today. Please be patient with us as our lobby might be full at times, but we are working diligently to take care of you as we navigate through a busy season!

Have a great Tuesday!
