Property Tax Exemption

Veterans with a service-connected disability rating of 50% or higher may receive a property tax exemption, in addition to the homestead exemption, on their primary residence as follows:

• • Veterans with a disability rating of 50% or more, but less than 70%: In addition to the homestead exemption, the next $2,500 of the assessed valuation of the property shall be exempt
  • Veterans with a disability rating of 70% or more, but less than 100%: In addition to the homestead exemption, the next $4,500 of the assessed valuation of the property shall be exempt
  • Veterans who have a service-connected disability rating of 100%: Exempt from all ad valorem taxation (except for certain municipal tax assessments)

To receive the property tax exemption, please contact your parish veterans service office to schedule an appointment with a veterans assistance counselor. The VAC will provide a certified form needed prior to visiting your parish assessor’s office.
