In Harrison County, residents owning tangible assets like vehicles, boats, and business equipment are subject to an annual levy based on the assessed value of these possessions. This assessment, performed by the county assessor’s office, determines the taxable value, which is then multiplied by the applicable tax rate to calculate the amount due.
These levies are essential for funding crucial county services such as schools, infrastructure maintenance, and public safety initiatives. By contributing to the county’s revenue stream, this system supports the overall well-being and development of the community. The specifics of the assessment process and applicable rates have evolved over time, reflecting changes in property values and community needs.
