Louisiana Homestead Exemption & Parish Assessor Lookup
Homestead Exemption is filed through your local parish assessor and can reduce the taxable value of your primary residence. Because requirements vary across Louisiana, use the lookup tool below to access the correct office for your property.
What Is Louisiana Homestead Exemption?
Louisiana homeowners may qualify for a reduction in the taxable value of their primary residence. The exemption is filed through the parish assessor's office and may lower annual property taxes.
Most parishes require proof of primary residence, government-issued identification, a recorded deed, and a completed exemption form.
Recently purchased or refinanced and unsure when to file your Homestead Exemption? I'm happy to help clarify the timeline and make sure you're on track.
Schedule a Strategy SessionUnderstanding Louisiana Property Taxes
Property taxes in Louisiana are based on assessed value and local millage rates. Primary residences may qualify for Homestead Exemption, reducing taxable value.
Assessed Value × Millage Rate = Annual Tax Amount
Filing Deadlines & Reassessment Cycles
Filing deadlines and reassessment schedules vary by parish. Most homeowners must file Homestead Exemption in person within the first year of ownership.
Contact your parish assessor for exact filing requirements.
