The Parish Assessor’s Office is promoting awareness about Special Assessment Level Freezes. Certain Louisiana homeowners may qualify for a Special Assessment Level Freeze that could help keep their property taxes from rising.

If an individual is:

• Senior citizen
• Disabled veteran
• Permanently disabled homeowner
• Widow of a service member killed in action /spouse of an MIA or POW

…they may be eligible to freeze the assessed value of their Homestead Exempt property. That means the property value won’t increase over time, helping protect citizens from rising taxes. (Note: Millage rate changes can still affect the bill.)

Eligible citizens only need to apply once with a signed form at the Assessor’s Office. Check out the Special Assessment Level Freeze flyer for full eligibility details: https://www.dropbox.com/…/special-assessment-levels.
