Lafayette millages. Residential
property is assessed at 10 percent of its fair market value. Industrial
land is assessed at 10 percent of its fair market value. Commercial
improvements are assessed at 15 percent of their fair market value. There
is $75,000 parish homestead exemption on residential property if inhabited by
its owner. There
are no state property taxes in Lafayette Parish, Louisiana. A

Example
Computation for Residential Real Estate: An
owner occupied home with a fair market
value of $175,000 is given a $75,000
homestead tax exemption. The remaining (net) $100,000 of fair market value is assessed
at 10 percent with an assessed value of $10,000. A home in the unincorporated
area is assessed
at 83.35 mills. Thus, the tax bill on $10,000 of accessed value would $833.50
per year. 175,000 Fair Market Value -
75,000 Homestead Tax Exemption 100,000 Net Value x 10% Assessment
Ratio 10,000
Assessed Value x
.08335 83.35 Millage Conversion 833.50
