Levied by the parish/local political subdivision where the property sits — millages are set locally. Residential property is assessed at 10% of fair market value; the homestead exemption covers $7,500 of assessed value ($75,000 of market value) and applies to non-municipal taxes (municipal taxes only in Orleans Parish). Qualifying homeowners 65+ or disabled can freeze their assessed value; the Louisiana Tax Commission oversees assessments. Varies by parish.
