Property taxes notices are normally mailed during the last week of November for
that taxable year. Property taxes become due upon receipt of the notice and
become delinquent if not paid by December 31st. Payments postmarked by December
31st will not incur interest charges.
The amount of property tax due is based upon your tax rate and taxable
assessment. The tax is calculated by multiplying the taxable assessment by the
tax rate. The tax rate is the sum of the individual millages that were approved
by voters for such purposes as fire protection, law enforcement, education,
recreation, and other functions of parish government. The Jefferson Parish
Assessor’s Office determines the taxable assessment of property.
If your homestead/mortgage company usually pays your property taxes, please
forward the tax notice Property taxes may be paid through several methods:
