Official eligibility and application

Eligibility source
Homeowners who are 65 years or older, or who have a permanent disability, or are the surviving spouse of a member of the armed forces or Louisiana National Guard killed in action, missing in action, or a prisoner of war may be able to "freeze" the assessed value at which their home is assessed if they meet certain conditions. The homeowner must have a homestead exemption applied to the property for which they are seeking the special assessment level and must meet certain income requirements.

Official source. Last verified 2026-10-24.

Savings source
The Special Assessment Level Homestead Exemption "freeze" only freezes the assessed value of your home. It does not "freeze" the tax rate on which your annual property tax bill is based. Your property tax bill may vary from year to year based on millage rate changes. Millage rates are levied by each taxing body. The Assessor's office is not responsible for setting millage rates.
