The LaSalle Parish Assessor’s Office is reminding residents how property values are determined and assessed across LaSalle Parish.

According to the office, its primary responsibility is to determine the market value of property for assessment purposes, a process designed to ensure property values remain fair and consistent throughout the parish. Officials also noted that the next reassessment of residential properties is scheduled to take place in 2028.

How Property Assessments Wor

Market Value

Property values are evaluated based on several factors, including recent sales of comparable properties, property characteristics, location, and any improvements made to the property.

Assessment Percentage

Under Louisiana law, different types of property are assessed at a set percentage of their market value:

10 percent for residential property

15 percent for commercial property10 percent for land

Assessed Value

Once the market value is determined, the applicable assessment percentage is applied to calculate the property’s assessed value.

Officials emphasized that the Assessor’s Office does not determine the amount of property taxes residents pay. Tax rates are set by local taxing bodies, and tax collections are handled by the LaSalle Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Residents with questions about their property assessments are encouraged to contact the LaSalle Parish Assessor’s Office for assistance.
