Tax Assessor is an elected position, but it is not a political position. The Assessor does not set tax rates, but they do have a specific local duty to:

 

• Ensure taxes are distributed fairly and efficiently across the city.

• Inform local debates on housing, land use, and economic development via research and public education – not politics.

 

Everyone in the Parish pays property taxes. Home owners, renters and business owners share the burden and responsibility – we all have a stake in the outcome!
