JACKSON, Miss. ( WJTV ) – Hinds County supervisors approved the budget for the next Fiscal Year, which includes a property tax increase.

The board voted in favor 4-1.

Every Hinds County property owner will see a 1.5 millage increase, which is projected to generate about $2.8 million. The highest increase owners could see on their property taxes is $3.13, depending on the value of your home.

The tax increase helps support county government and debt on the new jail.
