ORLEANS PARISH

Parish Millage = 0.14758 (Eastbank), 0.14867 (Westbank)

Fire/Police Millage = 0.01047
The maximum for Fire/Police Millage is $78.53 and is built into the Parish Millage IF no homestead exemption is claimed. If homestead exemption is claimed, then the exempt portion of the assessed value ($7500) is taxed at the Fire/Police Millage rate.

To estimate Orleans Parish annual taxes:
With Homestead Exemption:
Assessed Value - $75,000 (homestead exemption) = Exempt Value
10% of Exempt Value = Taxable Value
Taxable Value x Parish Millage (0.14758) = Parish Tax
10% of Homestead Exemption ($7500) x Fire/Police Millage = Police/Fire Tax
Parish Tax + Police/Fire Tax = Total Annual Property Tax

Example for a house at $300,000 with Homestead Exemption:
$300,000 - $75,000 = $225,000
10% of $225,000 = $22,500 (Taxable Value)
$22,500 x 0.14758 = $3320.55 (Parish Tax)
$7500 x .01047 = $78.53
$3320.55 + $78.53 = $3399.08 (Total Tax)

Without Homestead Exemption:
10% of Assessed Value x Parish Millage = Total Annual Property Tax

Example for a house at $300,000 without Homestead Exemption:
10% of $300,000 = $30,000
$30,000 x 0.14758 = $4427.40 (Total Tax)

JEFFERSON PARISH


To estimate Jefferson Parish annual taxes:
With Homestead Exemption:
Assessed Value - $75,000 (homestead exemption) = Exempt Value
10% of Exempt Value = Taxable Value
Taxable Value x Parish Millage (from table below) = Total Annual Parish Tax

If property is located in one of the locations requiring a city tax (check table below), the city tax is calculated on 10% of the entire assessed value (no exemption). The only exception is Kenner, which does allow homestead exemption on the city tax portion.


Example for a house at $300,000 with Homestead Exemption in the city limits of Gretna:
$300,000 - $75,000 = $225,000
10% of $225,000 = $22,500 (Taxable Parish Value)
$22,500 x 0.06338 = $1426.05 (Parish Tax)
10% of $300,000 = $30,000 (Taxable City Value)
$30,000 x 0.05113 = $1533.90 (City Tax)
$1426.05 + $1533.90 = $2959.95 (Total Tax)

ST. BERNARD PARISH

To estimate St. Bernard Parish annual taxes:
With Homestead Exemption:
Assessed Value - $75,000 (homestead exemption) = Exempt Value
10% of Exempt Value = Taxable Value
Taxable Value x Parish Millage (0.1292) = Parish Tax


Example for a house at $200,000 with Homestead Exemption in Ward 1:
$200,000 - $75,000 = $125,000
10% of $125,000 = $12,500 (Taxable Value)
$12,500 x 0.10922 = $1365.25 (Parish Tax)


Without Homestead Exemption:
10% of Assessed Value x Parish Millage = Total Annual Property Tax

Example for a house at $200,000 without Homestead Exemption in Ward 1:
10% of $200,000 = $20,000
$20,000 x 0.10922 = $2184.40 (Total Tax)
