Lee County, MS Property Records
Property records in Lee, Mississippi provide important information about real estate ownership, land transfers, parcel boundaries, assessed values, deeds, mortgages, liens, and related tax details. These records are useful for buyers, sellers, property owners, attorneys, lenders, researchers, and anyone verifying ownership history or reviewing the legal and financial status of a property.
Official Lee property records are typically maintained by county offices such as the Chancery Clerk, which handles land records and recorded documents, and the Tax Assessor/Collector, which manages assessment and tax information.

Lee County, MS Property Records & Statistics
Lee County has a median rent of $828.50, well above the Mississippi median of $725.50 and just under the national figure of $840.25. The median home value is $162,700, far higher than the state's $102,350 but below the national $173,750. Renter-occupied housing makes up 22.03% of homes, lower than the state's 23.88% and slightly above the national 21.81%, which points to a market weighted toward homeownership.
The county's median property tax rate is 0.75%, a touch above both the state rate of 0.73% and the national rate of 0.74%. Because home values are well above the state level, owners here typically carry a larger tax bill than elsewhere in Mississippi, even though the rate itself is close to the norm.
Median household income is $63,451.50, much higher than the state's $44,600 and close to the national $65,108. That income level helps explain why rents and home prices sit well above the state medians while staying near or below national levels. The unemployment rate is 3.75%, above the state's 3.54% and the national 2.87%, so the job market is somewhat softer than average even with strong incomes.
Overall, the figures describe a relatively high-value Mississippi county with near-national incomes, moderate rents, and an owner-heavy housing market.
