Find a New Orleans Assessment and Decode the Property Value Behind It

New Orleans property assessments are handled by the Orleans Parish Assessor. Start with the Assessor’s official property search to identify the parcel, then compare land value, improvements, assessed value, exemptions and the tax bill without mixing those numbers together.

Residential property follows Louisiana’s 10% assessment ratio, New Orleans has location-specific millage, and Homestead Exemption changes the taxable assessment. The current 2027 assessment-roll appeal period also ended in August 2026, so timing matters if a value looks wrong.

Start with the quick answer Search a property Estimate the tax
Local terminology: New Orleans is in Orleans Parish. Louisiana uses parishes rather than counties. The Assessor values property; the City of New Orleans Bureau of Treasury handles property-tax billing and payment.

Quick answer: search the Orleans Parish Assessor record before checking the City tax bill

Open the official Orleans Parish Assessor Property Search. Read and accept the Assessor’s assessment-data disclaimer, then use the live search screen to locate the correct property. Once you verify the parcel, use the City of New Orleans tax-bill search when you need the actual amount billed or payment status.

1 Search parcel Use the Assessor’s official property search.
2 Verify property Match address, parcel details and building information.
3 Read value Separate fair market value from assessed value.

Louisiana assessment math

New Orleans residential property is assessed at 10% of fair market value

Residential land and improvements: 10%

Louisiana requires residential property and land to be assessed at 10% of fair market value. A $300,000 owner-occupied home therefore begins with a $30,000 assessed value.

Commercial and industrial improvements are generally assessed at 15% of fair market value. Public-service property follows different rules.

New Orleans-specific calculator

Estimate a 2026 New Orleans residential property tax

The Orleans Parish Assessor’s 2026 fact sheet lists a standard millage of 133.99 mills on the East Bank and 134.01 mills on the West Bank, excluding special assessment districts. The City’s 2026 millage table also identifies 11.51 mills of police/fire levies that are applied without the Homestead Exemption.

Residential value and Homestead estimator

Enter the fair market value, choose East Bank or West Bank and indicate whether the property has the standard Homestead Exemption.

This is an estimate—not an official bill. Special neighborhood districts, fees, phase-ins, additional exemptions, tax liens and parcel-specific adjustments are not included.
Assessed value $30,000
Homestead deduction $7,500
Estimated 2026 tax $3,101

Estimate applies the selected 2026 bank-specific millage and preserves the 11.51 police/fire mills the City’s millage table identifies as not receiving the Homestead Exemption.

Why the City’s 121.20 citywide total is not the only number you may see: the Assessor’s 2026 fact sheet lists higher East Bank and West Bank totals because location-specific millage layers apply. Special security, development or other neighborhood districts can increase an individual bill further.
Current as of September 2026

The 2027 Orleans Parish assessment-roll review period has closed

The Assessor opened the 2027 assessment rolls for public inspection from July 15 through August 17, 2026. Online appeals were accepted from July 22 until 4 p.m. on August 20, 2026.

July 15 Open rolls began Property owners could inspect the 2027 assessment roll and discuss values with appraisal staff.
July 22 Online appeal opened The Assessor’s electronic assessment-appeal system became available.
Aug. 17 Inspection period ended The 2027 rolls closed after the statutory inspection window.
Aug. 20 Online appeal deadline Online filing closed at 4 p.m.
Do not use an outdated generic appeal deadline. As of September 2026, the ordinary Orleans Parish filing window for the 2027 assessment roll has passed. Contact the Assessor about your specific situation rather than assuming a late Board of Review appeal can still be filed.

Assessment appeal workflow

Appeal the property value—not simply a high tax bill

Orleans Parish assessment appeals address the Assessor’s property value or underlying assessment facts. A dispute about millage, payment posting or delinquent interest belongs with the taxing authority or Bureau of Treasury instead.

Attach supporting evidence Use evidence that directly addresses market value or incorrect property characteristics.
Prepare the required paper copies For hand-delivered or mailed BOR submissions, the Assessor instructed filers to provide four copies of the appeal form and all supporting materials.
Keep filing confirmation Online E-File allows filers to track submission status and communicate with the Assessor through the Resolution Center.

Owner-occupied homes

New Orleans Homestead Exemption can remove up to $7,500 from taxable assessed value

An Orleans Parish homeowner who owns and occupies the property as a primary residence can generally claim the Homestead Exemption. The standard exemption covers the first $75,000 of market value, equivalent to $7,500 of assessed value, from most qualifying property taxes.

Primary residence The property must be the homeowner’s owner-occupied domicile.
$75,000 market value At the 10% residential ratio, that equals $7,500 of assessed value.
One domicile A person or married couple can have only one Homestead Exemption.

Documents the Assessor currently asks for

Completed Homestead Exemption application
Valid Louisiana driver’s license or state ID matching the property address
Current qualifying utility/service bill in the applicant’s name
Service and mailing addresses on the supporting bill matching the property
Sewerage & Water Board bills are not accepted as Homestead proof. The Assessor’s current instructions identify qualifying alternatives such as an Entergy, cable or qualifying landline bill showing ordinary residential service.
Homestead application instructions Homestead & assessment freezes

After opening the Homestead application page

Check the required documents before scheduling Make sure the ID and accepted service bill match the New Orleans property address.
Complete the Assessor’s application Use the current HENO Homestead Exemption form and provide the documentation requested by the office.
Follow the current appointment or online instructions The Assessor offers virtual/in-person service options. Virtual applicants must satisfy the office’s identity and device requirements.
Check the tax record afterward Confirm the exemption appears on the assessment/tax account. If you believe you qualify but the City tax bill shows no exemption, contact the Assessor promptly.
Special Assessment Levels

An assessment freeze is not the same as Homestead Exemption

Orleans Parish also administers Special Assessment Level programs that can freeze the qualifying taxable assessment. The homeowner must already meet Homestead requirements and satisfy the specific program rules.

Age Freeze Current Assessor guidance lists age 65 or older and annual household income of $102,700 or less, subject to Homestead and documentation requirements.
Disability Freeze Current guidance requires qualifying federal or state disability verification plus the applicable household-income and Homestead requirements.
Other exemptions The Assessor also publishes forms for disabled veterans, first responders, qualifying nonprofits and other specialized property-tax situations.
A freeze does not necessarily freeze the final tax bill. If millage or a non-frozen charge changes, the amount due can still change even when a qualifying assessment level is protected.
City of New Orleans Treasury

Use the City tax system for the actual bill, payment and delinquent balance

New Orleans is the Louisiana exception to the usual parish-sheriff tax-collection model. The City of New Orleans Bureau of Treasury handles Orleans Parish property-tax bills and payments.

Important 2026 timing

2026 was not a normal January 31 payment year. The City announced that 2026 bills became available in January 2026 and gave taxpayers until February 28, 2026 to pay before interest began accruing. Current delinquent accounts accrue interest at 1% per month.

10 New Orleans-specific answers

New Orleans tax assessment and property value FAQs

1. Where can I search a New Orleans property assessment?

Use the official Orleans Parish Assessor Property Search at nolaassessor.com/property-search. Read and accept the Assessor’s disclaimer, then use the live property-record system to locate and verify the parcel.

2. Is New Orleans property assessed by the City or Orleans Parish?

Property valuation is handled by the Orleans Parish Assessor. The City of New Orleans Bureau of Treasury handles the property-tax bill and payment after the Assessor certifies the tax roll.

3. What percentage of market value is used for a New Orleans home?

Residential land and improvements are generally assessed at 10% of fair market value. A home with a $300,000 fair market value therefore begins with a $30,000 assessed value.

4. How much is the Orleans Parish Homestead Exemption?

The standard Homestead Exemption can exempt up to $7,500 of assessed value, equivalent to the first $75,000 of market value on a qualifying owner-occupied primary residence, from most applicable property taxes.

5. What are the 2026 New Orleans East Bank and West Bank 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 assessment districts and parcel-specific charges can make an individual tax bill different.

6. Why can two New Orleans homes with the same market value have different tax bills?

Homestead status, additional exemptions, East Bank or West Bank millage, special security or development districts, phase-in rules and parcel-specific charges can all change the final tax even when market values are similar.

7. Can I still appeal the 2027 Orleans Parish assessment in September 2026?

The ordinary 2027 roll inspection period ended August 17, 2026 and online assessment appeals closed at 4 p.m. August 20, 2026. Contact the Assessor about your specific situation rather than assuming a late filing is available.

8. What evidence should I use for a New Orleans assessment-value dispute?

Useful evidence can include a recent appraisal, arm’s-length sale documents, relevant comparable sales, dated photographs, contractor repair estimates, insurance documents and measurements proving incorrect property characteristics.

9. When were 2026 New Orleans property taxes due?

The City gave taxpayers until February 28, 2026 to pay the 2026 property-tax bill before interest began accruing. Delinquent property taxes accrue interest at 1% per month under the City’s current guidance.

10. Can I use the Orleans Parish Assessor map as a legal survey?

No. The Assessor states that its maps, sketches and square-footage information are provided for assessment purposes and are not legally recorded surveys. Use recorded documents and a professional survey when exact boundaries matter.

These calculators use the verified 2026 Ohio Department of Taxation amounts and statutory rules. For your exact bill, exemption status, and county-specific deadlines, always confirm with your county auditor and the Ohio Revised Code:

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.
