Louisiana Homestead Property Tax Exemption
Orleans Parish Tax Assessor
About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs Louisiana Homestead Property Tax Exemption in its New Orleans, LA research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
Louisiana's Homestead Exemption allows Orleans Parish homeowners to exempt the first $75,000 of their home's fair market value from property taxes (equivalent to $7,500 of assessed value). Additional options include the Special Assessment Level (Age Freeze) for seniors, Disability Freeze, and First Responder Exemption. The exemption remains in place as long as the homeowner continues to live in and own the property.
Ongoing annual tax savings. Exact savings depend on local millage rates. Senior/disability freezes can provide additional long-term benefits.
