Millage Rate Set 

Earlier this Summer, Mayor Ken Adams and the Board of Aldermen announced upcoming changes in property tax assessments, or the ad valorem tax formula, mandated by the State. These updates come from DeSoto County Tax Assessor, Jeff Fitch. This is a big shift affecting both your County, City, and School District taxes. Our City currently has and will maintain the lowest millage rate in all of DeSoto County. We will be reducing our property millage rate to 35.05 mills. This represents 8.96% reduction in our millage rate. In every way, Olive Branch is working to remain a great place to live, work, worship, and play. You can read more about this update on Mayor Adam's blog here.
