By Wendy Aguillard, Calcasieu Parish Assessor
Due to the delays from the hurricanes, the Sheriff and Tax Collector will not be sending out the 2020 tax notices until after the first of the year.
Calcasieu Assessor, Wendy Aguillard has provided an initial parish wide Hurricane Laura/Delta reduction in value.
Homestead Property
If you are unable to live in your homestead property, you can file for a Disaster Homestead Continuation which will allow you to maintain your homestead even though you are temporarily unable to live in your home.
This is ONLY good if you DO NOT file for homestead anywhere else while your home is being repaired.
Real Estate/Buildings
If you have experienced unfortunate more extensive damage, additional information of damage may be provided by property owners to our office for further review and possible additional valuation adjustments.
Business/Personal Property
For business assets (inventory, furniture, fixtures, and equipment) please provide a revised LAT5 form with supporting documentation of loss for possible valuation adjustment to personal property assets.
