Need to Pay Your Property Taxes?

As tax notices are being sent out, we wanted to answer a couple of questions that arise during this time.
1.) Can I pay my taxes at the Assessor’s Office?
No. The Assessor does not send out tax notices or collect the taxes. The Sheriff is the tax collector for the parish. You can click the tab above to be directed to the Sheriff’s website for payment, send your payment in by mail or pay in person at the Courthouse located at 20300 Government Blvd., Livingston, La. 70754
2.) I believe my values are incorrect, what can I do?
To dispute your assessed value, we need some documentation to verify that the value we have is incorrect. That can be an appraisal that has been done within the last year or the documents page from your Homeowners insurance policy. Please bring these documents with you if you want to discuss your assessment.

How are my property taxes calculated?
Adjusted millage rates are assigned to all taxing bodies
by the assessor, and by law must be adopted by their
board. However, each taxing body board can then vote
to “roll up” these adjusted millage rates.
THIS IS A TAX INCREASE.
The purpose of reassessment is to ensure the uniform and
equitable valuation of all property, not to raise taxes or
increase revenue for taxing bodies.
The goal is to be revenue-neutral.
That’s why the assessor gives the taxing bodies the
adjusted millage rates.
Each board must hold a public hearing before voting to
adopt the millage rate for their district. This is your
opportunity to address these taxing bodies and speak out
for or against the tax increase.
It is possible for taxes to have increased slightly with any
increased adjusted millage rates, but if a taxing body
rolls up their millage rates it will result in higher taxes.
