Louisiana homeowner reminder
Do not let the homestead exemption slip through the cracks.
If you own and occupy the home as your primary residence, Louisiana’s homestead exemption may reduce the value used to calculate your property taxes. You apply through the assessor in the parish where the home is located.
Your act of sale may need to be recorded and the assessor’s ownership record updated before you can apply. Check your parish assessor’s instructions.
Requirements vary, but assessors commonly request proof of ownership, a photo ID showing the property address, and proof that you occupy the home.
Use the assessor’s official application and confirm that the exemption appears on your property record. Keep a copy of the confirmation for your files.
