When do the bills go out, and when do they become delinquent?

Property tax notices are generally mailed the last week of November and become due upon receipt, and become delinquent if not paid by December 31st.
If your Mortgage Company usually pays your property taxes, please forward the notice accordingly.

Do you accept the postmark on the envelope?

Yes! However, it is the responsibility of the taxpayer to insure that the Post Office has received and will post mark your mail.

What is the delinquent interest rate?

My Assessment seems too high, whom do I call?

You must contact the Bossier Parish Assessor’s Office at (318) 965-2213. All changes to assessments must be submitted, by the Assessor, to the Louisiana Tax Commission, for approval.

Do you take partial payments?

No. The bill must be paid in full before our tax sale, which usually is held annually on the last Wednesday in June.

How do I file for a Homestead Exemption?

You must contact the Assessor’s Office at (318) 965-2213. The Homestead Exemption exempts the first $75,000 of parish property tax. There is no Homestead Exemption for the municipality property tax.
