About Property Taxes in Louisiana
Louisiana offers one of the most generous homestead exemptions in the United States, exempting the first $75,000 of market value of a primary residence from all property taxes. This effectively eliminates property taxes for many Louisiana homeowners with modest-value homes. Property in Louisiana is administered at the parish level (Louisiana uses "parishes" rather than "counties"). Residential property is assessed at 10% of fair market value, while commercial property is assessed at 15%. Tax bills are typically mailed in November and due December 31.
Payment & Assessment
Louisiana property taxes are due December 31. A penalty of 1% per month applies beginning January 1. Continued non-payment can result in a tax sale where the lien is sold to a third party. Most parishes offer online payment through the parish tax collector's website. Contact your parish for specific payment options.
