State Overview

Property Taxes in Louisiana

Louisiana's property taxes rank far below national average

Louisiana homeowners pay an average effective tax rate of 0.421%, less than half the national median of 1.03%—placing the state among the lowest-tax states in the country. The typical Louisiana property tax bill runs $732 annually, compared to a national median of $2,690, a difference that reflects both lower tax rates and lower median home values statewide ($161,894 vs. the national $281,900).

Parish tax rates vary sixfold across Louisiana

East Feliciana Parish has the lowest effective rate at 0.153%, while Orleans Parish reaches 0.819%—a spread wide enough that identical homes can carry vastly different tax bills depending on location. Median property taxes range from just $199 in Allen Parish to $2,428 in Orleans Parish, illustrating significant disparities in both rate and revenue burden across Louisiana's 64 parishes.

A typical Louisiana homeowner pays under $750 annually

The median property tax bill statewide is $732 on a median home valued at $161,894, translating to roughly $61 per month for the average homeowner. This modest annual burden reflects Louisiana's low effective tax rate and positions the state as exceptionally affordable for property owners compared to most U.S. states.

Urban parishes carry steeper tax burdens than rural ones

Orleans Parish, home to New Orleans, leads the state with an average tax bill of $2,428 and a 0.819% effective rate, while suburban St. Tammany Parish ranks second at $2,005. Rural parishes like Allen and Madison, by contrast, impose annual taxes under $210, revealing a clear urban-rural divide in Louisiana's property tax landscape.

Louisiana is a bargain for property owners

With the nation's lowest effective tax rates, Louisiana rewards homeowners with minimal annual property tax bills—the median of $732 leaves more income for other expenses or savings. Those seeking affordable homeownership will thrive in rural parishes, though residents of New Orleans and Baton Rouge pay premium rates that still remain below national averages.
