The Parish Assessor’s Office recently shared more “Bits from the Book.” The chart above shows how inventory and public service property values have changed from 2020 to 2024.
Inventory includes goods held by local businesses, like retailers, manufacturers, and wholesalers. These goods are taxed at 15% of fair market value. These taxes are a major funding source for local services like schools, roads, and emergency response.
Public Service properties include utilities, pipelines, railroads, and telecommunications companies. These are assessed at 25% of fair market value by the Louisiana Tax Commission, not the local assessor’s office.
Both play a key role in generating parish revenue and supporting essential infrastructure across Bienville Parish.
