Amendment No. 6: Additional Property Tax Relief for Homeowners 65+

Amendment No. 6 would allow parishes and municipalities, with local voter approval, to provide an additional property tax exemption for qualifying homeowners age 65 and older who receive the Homestead Exemption and Special Assessment Level (“65 Freeze”).

The additional exemption would increase with age:
65–68: $60,000
69–72: $120,000
73–76: $180,000
77–80: $240,000
81+: $300,000

These amounts would be in addition to the existing $75,000 Homestead Exemption.

For example, a qualifying homeowner age 81+ with a $375,000 home could receive the existing $75,000 exemption plus an additional $300,000 exemption, potentially eliminating parish property taxes on the home.

Statewide passage would NOT automatically grant the exemption. Voters in each parish or municipality would still have to approve it in a separate local election.

If approved, the amendment would take effect January 1, 2028.

Amendment No. 2 would NOT automatically raise or lower your property taxes. It would change the rules governing how taxing districts handle millage rates after reassessment.

When property values increase through reassessment, millage rates are generally “rolled back” so the district collects the same revenue from existing property. Under current law, a district may later “roll forward” toward its previous maximum rate. However, if it does not roll forward before the next reassessment, it can lose the ability to return to that previous maximum.

This creates a “use it or lose it” incentive for taxing districts to raise millage rates simply to preserve that authority for the future.

Amendment No. 2 would remove that pressure. A district could keep a lower, rolled-back rate while preserving the option to return to its previous maximum until the millage authorization expires.

For example, if a district’s maximum was 10 mills and reassessment rolled it back to 9 mills, it could continue charging 9 mills without giving up the ability to return to 10 mills later.

Any future roll forward would still require public notice, a public hearing, and a two-thirds vote of the governing body.

YES: Allows districts to keep lower rates without losing their previous maximum authority.
NO: Keeps the current “use it or lose it” rules.

An Explanation of Amendment No. 1 for the Upcoming Nov. 3 Election:

Louisiana provides additional property tax relief for veterans with a service-connected disability rating of 50% or greater through an additional homestead exemption. A surviving spouse may continue receiving that exemption as long as they remain in the same home.

Amendment No. 1 would allow a qualifying surviving spouse to transfer the additional exemption once to a new homestead, up to the same amount received in the previous home.

A YES vote would allow one-time transfers beginning January 1, 2027.
A NO vote would keep the current law unchanged.

Fall is here, and it’s a good time for a property check-in. 🍂

Have you made changes to your property this year? New construction, additions, renovations, property transfers, and other changes can affect your property record. The LaSalle Parish Assessor’s Office works year-round to maintain accurate property records and ensure property is assessed fairly and equitably.

Take a few minutes this fall to review your property information on our website, and contact our office if you have any questions. 👇

There are several proposed constitutional amendments on the November 3 ballot that deal with property taxes. As your Assessor, I want to help explain what each one would actually change.

Over the next few weeks, There will be separate posts about each property tax amendment. Each post will cover who it could affect, what a YES vote would do, and what a NO vote would do. Some proposals would change eligibility for an existing benefit. Others would give local governments the option to offer a new exemption, which is an important difference.

Our goal is to give you clear information so you can make your own decision when you vote. I’ll start with Amendment No. 1 and work through Nos. 2, 6, 9, and 10.

Did you know you don’t have to reapply for Homestead Exemption every year? 🏡

Once you’ve applied for Homestead Exemption in LaSalle Parish, it remains in place as long as you continue to own and occupy the property as your primary residence, as per state law. However, if you sell your home and purchase or build a new primary residence, you’ll need to apply for Homestead Exemption on the new property.

Not sure if you have a Homestead Exemption or need to apply? Contact the LaSalle Parish Assessor’s Office. 👇

Did you know that where your property is located within LaSalle Parish can affect which millages apply to it?

The 2025 Louisiana Tax Commission Annual Report lists a variety of taxing districts within LaSalle Parish, including:
🚒 Fire protection districts
🛣️ Road districts
🌳 Recreation districts
🏥 Hospital districts
💧 Water and sewer districts
🏙️ Municipal millages for Jena, Olla, Tullos, and Urania

It also includes parishwide millages that support services such as schools, law enforcement, libraries, roads and bridges, ambulance service, the health unit, and more. Because taxing districts have different boundaries, not every millage applies to every property in LaSalle Parish. Your property’s location determines which taxing districts it falls within.

The LaSalle Parish Assessor’s Office maintains the property and district information used to ensure each property is assessed within the appropriate taxing jurisdictions. 👇
