What value should I compare on my Louisiana notice?

Louisiana notices often do not show a market value; compare the assessed value (“Assessed Value”) with what similar homes sold for, as of Fair market value as of the reappraisal valuation date: January 1, 2023 for tax years 2024 through 2027 (LAC 61:V.303); reappraisal at least every 4 years (La. Const. art. VII, §18(F)).

Does Louisiana cap assessment increases?

Special assessment level freezes the homestead assessment for owners 65+, certain disabled veterans and the permanently disabled, subject to an income limit ($100,000 indexed; $150,000 from 2027) (La. Const. art. VII, §18(G)); a homestead reappraisal increase above 50% is phased in over 4 years (§18(F)(2)).
