Louisiana property tax appeals, 2027
In Louisiana, you appeal a property assessment to the Parish Board of Review, and the deadline is set by the parish's 15-day public inspection period between August 15 and September 15 (Orleans: July 15 to August 15). Each county below lists its own date, how to file and who hears the appeal. Sale prices are not public record in Louisiana, so evidence leans on the county’s own data, listings and independent appraisals.
