Pontotoc Co Assessor Courses

The Pontotoc County Assessor oversees and maintains the real-property appraisal system in the county. They are responsible for the accurate and uniform assessment of all real and personal property, including assessments for all taxing authorities, as well as the administration of homestead and agricultural exemptions. The assessment duties encompass two major areas; the appraisal and assessment of real and personal property and the administration of applicable exemptions. The assessor and staff strive to provide excellent customer, taxpayer, and departmental services. All staff members are certified assessors, willing and able to help provide information on all aspects of taxation. The Assessor's Office works closely with the Board of Supervisors to ensure fair, accurate, and equitable assessments for all taxpayers in Pontotoc County. In addition to the general assessment duties, the assessor and staff file returns for all oil & gas producing properties and inventories are taken on all manufactured homes and business personal properties. They also serve as a clearinghouse for all property data exchanges between the various taxing authorities, and are the liaison between the taxpayers, various taxing entities, and the Mississippi Tax Commission.
