Here’s what to know about registering a mobile home with the Bienville Parish Assessor’s Office.

Proof of ownership is required. The mobile home owner will need to provide documentation such as a bill of sale, title, or act of sale showing that they own the mobile home.

Location matters. Be prepared to give the exact location where the mobile home is situated, including the physical address and whether it’s on family land, leased land, or the homeowner’s own property.

The mobile homeowner may qualify for homestead exemption. If the mobile home is the owner’s primary residence and the owner owns AND occupies the structure, they may be eligible for a Homestead Exemption. The owner will need to apply and bring valid proof of residency, such as a driver’s license or a voter’s registration card.

Annual renewal or updates may be needed. In some cases, mobile home assessments may need to be updated yearly, especially if the mobile home is still considered movable. It’s important to notify the assessor’s office of any changes, especially structural changes. Those changes need to be reported to the assessor’s office before tax bills go out.
