Discovering, listing, and valuing all property in St. Charles Parish, La. for ad valorem tax purposes

10/15/2026

Amendment 10 will appear on Louisiana’s Nov. 3 ballot and would allow parishes to establish a property tax exemption program for qualifying blighted or derelict properties that have been rehabilitated.

What could this mean for St. Charles Parish?

If approved statewide, Amendment 10 would give the St. Charles Parish Council the option to establish a local exemption program intended to encourage the rehabilitation of neglected properties.

Qualifying properties could receive exemptions of up to:
75% of assessed value for up to 20 years for rehabilitated residential properties.
25% of assessed value for up to 10 years for qualifying vacant, unimproved land.

The Assessor’s Office does not determine whether a property is classified as blighted or derelict, so the number of properties that might qualify in St. Charles Parish is currently unknown.

Amendment 2 will appear on Louisiana’s Nov. 3 ballot and would change how local taxing authorities manage their property tax millage rates.

Under current law, taxing authorities that lower their millage rates following a reassessment generally must restore those rates to the maximum authorized level before the next reassessment cycle or lose the ability to return to that higher rate.

This is sometimes called the “use-it-or-lose-it” rule.

Amendment 2 would eliminate that requirement, allowing taxing authorities to maintain lower millage rates for longer without losing the ability to increase them later, up to the authorized maximum. However, increasing a millage rate would still require a two-thirds vote of the taxing authority’s members and a public hearing. The authority to increase the rate would also remain limited by the expiration of the voter-approved millage.

What could this mean for St. Charles Parish property owners?

The amendment would give local taxing authorities more flexibility in deciding when to adjust property tax rates. It would not automatically increase or decrease anyone’s property taxes, but it could affect future millage decisions.

If approved statewide, Amendment 2 would take effect January 1, 2027. No separate local election would be required for the constitutional change.

Amendment 9 will appear on Louisiana’s Nov. 3 ballot and would increase the income limit for homeowners who qualify for the Special Assessment Level, commonly known as a property tax assessment “freeze.”

What could this change mean for St. Charles Parish homeowners?

Currently, the income limit to qualify for a freeze is $102,700, reflecting an inflation adjustment to the $100,000 limit established by state law. Amendment 9 would increase that limit to $150,000, potentially allowing more qualifying homeowners to freeze their property’s assessed value. The new limit would also be adjusted annually for inflation beginning in 2028.

Here in St. Charles Parish, the Assessor’s Office currently has 3,438 property tax assessment freezes on record, including:
3,122 Age 65+ Freezes
258 Disability Freezes
58 Disabled Veteran Freezes

These freezes help protect qualifying homeowners from increases in their property’s assessed value, provided they continue to meet eligibility requirements. A freeze does not necessarily prevent property tax bills from increasing.

Amendment 9 would not require a separate local election. If approved statewide, the new income threshold would apply beginning January 1, 2027.

Amendment 1 will appear on Louisiana’s Nov. 3 ballot and would allow the surviving spouse of a qualifying veteran with a service-connected disability to make a one-time transfer of the additional property tax exemption to a new qualifying home.

What could this change mean for a surviving spouse?

Under current law, an eligible surviving spouse can continue receiving the veteran’s additional property tax exemption after the veteran’s death, but only while remaining in the same home. If the spouse moves, the exemption does not transfer.

Amendment 1 would allow the surviving spouse to transfer that exemption one time to a new home that qualifies for the homestead exemption. The amount transferred could not exceed the exemption claimed on the previous home.

For the surviving spouse of a disabled veteran who relocates, the amendment would allow a one-time transfer of the additional homestead exemption. There are presently 386 homes in St. Charles Parish with the additional disabled veteran exemption.

Amendment 1 would not require a separate local election in St. Charles Parish. If approved by voters statewide, the change would apply statewide.

Amendment 6 will appear on Louisiana’s Nov. 3 ballot and would allow parishes and municipalities to offer an additional property tax exemption to qualifying homeowners age 65+ who receive the homestead exemption and qualify for the Special Assessment Level, commonly known as the “Age 65 Freeze.”

But what could this mean for you or your loved ones?

The amount of the additional exemption would increase by age, as shown in the graphic. This would be in addition to the existing homestead exemption.

A statewide approval would not automatically put the exemption into effect in St. Charles Parish. If Amendment 6 is approved statewide, St. Charles Parish voters would still have to approve the exemption in a separate local election before it could apply here.

If approved at both levels, the amendment would take effect beginning Jan. 1, 2028.
