Understand the Orleans Parish Value Before You Pay the City Bill

New Orleans property values are set by the Orleans Parish Assessor, while the actual property-tax bill is issued and collected by the City of New Orleans Bureau of Treasury. Start with the assessment record to verify market value, assessed value, land, improvements and exemptions; then move to the City tax system for the amount actually due.

This guide goes beyond a directory link. It shows exactly how to search the Beacon assessment portal, decode the 10% residential assessment ratio, check Homestead and freezes, understand 2026 millage and delinquency, deal with the now-closed 2027 appeal window, find historical bills, research deeds and fix records that do not match.

Current August 2026 status: the 2026 New Orleans property-tax payment deadline of February 28, 2026 has passed. The 2027 Orleans Parish assessment-roll inspection period ended August 17, 2026, and the Assessor’s online 2027 Board of Review appeal system closed at 4:00 p.m. August 20, 2026. Do not use an older page that still describes either window as open.

Quick answer: value problem = Assessor, bill problem = Treasury

If you want the property’s owner display, market value, assessed value, land/improvement breakdown, Homestead status or assessment map, use the Orleans Parish Assessor. If you want the current tax balance, payment receipt, delinquency information or historical bill, use the City of New Orleans Bureau of Treasury.

1 Find the parcel Search by owner, address or tax bill number.
2 Read the value Separate market value from assessed value.
3 Check exemptions Verify Homestead, freeze or other relief.
4 Check the bill Use City Treasury for live tax due.

New Orleans property-search quirks that save time
Tool
Quirk
What to do
Assessor / Beacon
You must accept the Assessor’s disclaimer before entering the search.
Read it, accept it, then search the parcel.
City Property Viewer
Address and owner suggestions autocomplete while Tax Bill IDs do not.
Type enough of the owner/address to identify the correct suggestion.
Owner search
City guidance uses owner format last name, first name, middle initial.
Keep adding letters for common surnames instead of choosing the first result.
Address search
Periods can interfere with matching.
Use a simplified address such as 801 ST MARY.
Multiple owners
A single location may return more than one owner/result.
Open each owner option and verify the legal/property description.
Historical tax bills
Searches include property location, owner and Tax Bill Number; spaces in Tax Bill Numbers matter.
Use the Assessor’s Location Address and preserve Tax Bill Number spacing.
Fastest route to a missing tax bill: find the parcel in the Assessor or Property Viewer, copy the Tax Bill ID, then search the City’s tax system with that identifier instead of repeatedly guessing the owner name.
Assessment calculation

Market value and assessed value are not the same number

Residential land and improvements: generally 10%

Louisiana requires residential property and land to be assessed at 10% of fair market value. A home with a $300,000 fair market value therefore begins with a $30,000 assessed value before applicable exemptions are considered.

Commercial and industrial improvements are generally assessed at 15% of fair market value. Different classifications, public-service property and qualifying use-value property can follow different rules.

MARKET VALUE Assessor estimate 10% ASSESSED Residential EXEMPTIONS If applicable MILLAGE Taxing authorities TAX BILL City Treasury

Residential calculation example

Start with fair market value Example: $300,000.
Apply the 10% residential assessment ratio $300,000 × 10% = $30,000 assessed value.
Check Homestead A qualifying homeowner may receive up to $7,500 of assessed-value exemption.
Determine taxable assessment A simplified example after a full $7,500 exemption would leave $22,500 before considering how individual tax lines treat exemptions.
Apply the parcel’s applicable millages One mill equals $1 per $1,000 of taxable assessed value.
Add parcel-specific charges Special security, development or other district charges can make the real bill different from a simple calculator estimate.
Do not multiply market value directly by the millage rate. The millage is applied to taxable assessed value, not directly to residential market value.

Escrow-owner warning: the City says revised tax bills, Code Enforcement liens and some Safety & Permits charges are usually not included in a mortgage company’s regular escrow payment. Check the account yourself even when your lender normally pays taxes.

Historical value research

Compare old tax bills when you need a value timeline

The City’s historical tax-bill system provides as-printed property tax bills from 2008 forward. This can help homeowners, researchers and buyers understand how assessments, owners and tax bills changed over time.

Search by property location Use the Assessor’s “Location Address” wording for the best match.
Search by owner Useful when researching earlier ownership periods.
Search by Tax Bill Number Preserve spacing because the historical tool treats spaces as meaningful.
Filter by tax year Narrow broad results instead of searching an overly specific phrase.
Save the PDF from its viewer The City’s historical tool recommends using the PDF viewer’s save/print tools.
Use current portal for payoff A historical PDF is not a current balance-due statement.
Property-history trick: review bills backward year by year and note sudden changes in land or improvement value. A large improvement-value increase can indicate construction, renovation, reassessment or another property change worth investigating.

New Orleans tax assessment FAQs

Who assesses property values in New Orleans?

The Orleans Parish Assessor sets assessment values for properties in Orleans Parish. The City of New Orleans Bureau of Treasury issues and collects the actual property-tax bills.

How do I search a New Orleans property assessment?

Use the Orleans Parish Assessor’s official Property Search page, accept the disclaimer, then enter the Beacon search system. Search by owner, property address or Tax Bill Number and verify the location before relying on the record.

What percentage of market value is a New Orleans home assessed at?

Residential property and land are generally assessed at 10% of fair market value. Commercial and industrial improvements are generally assessed at 15%.

What are the 2026 Orleans Parish millage rates?

The Orleans Parish Assessor’s 2026 fact sheet lists 133.99 mills for the East Bank and 134.01 mills for the West Bank. Special taxing districts can add charges not reflected in a simple citywide estimate.

When were 2026 New Orleans property taxes due?

The City announced February 28, 2026 as the 2026 payment deadline. That date has passed, and delinquent property taxes accrue interest at 1% per month. Check the current Treasury balance before paying.

How much is the New Orleans Homestead Exemption?

A qualifying homeowner may receive up to $7,500 of assessed-value exemption on the owner-occupied domicile, commonly described as the first $75,000 of market value for residential property assessed at 10%.

Can I still appeal my 2027 New Orleans assessment?

The published 2027 roll-inspection period ended August 17, 2026 and the Assessor’s online Board of Review appeal filing closed at 4 p.m. August 20, 2026. If you filed on time, track the case through E-File. If you missed the deadline, contact the Assessor for the correct next step rather than assuming a late online filing is available.

Why is my tax bill different from the Assessor’s Tax Estimator?

Special security or development districts, parcel-specific charges, exemptions, supplemental changes and other bill items can make the actual City tax bill different from a simplified estimator result.

Where can I find old New Orleans property tax bills?

The City Historical Tax Bills system provides as-printed property tax bills from 2008 forward. Search by property location, owner or Tax Bill Number and use the current Treasury portal for the live amount due.

Are Orleans Parish Assessor map lines legal property boundaries?

No. The Assessor states that its maps, sketches and square-footage information are prepared for assessment purposes and are not legally recorded maps or surveys. Use recorded land documents and a licensed surveyor when legal boundary location matters.

Estimates use Ohio's 35% statutory assessment ratio and effective tax rate tiers averaged across major Ohio counties. Your actual bill depends on local school levies, voted millage, inside vs. outside millage splits, House Bill 920 reduction factors (HB 920), and special assessments. The 2026 Homestead general amount ($29,000) and enhanced amount ($58,000) reflect HB 187 inflation indexing — your county auditor's office may show slightly different transitional figures.
