Jefferson Parish has 15 local government agencies that levy property taxes. This year, more than half of them choose to increase their tax rates on residential and commercial property.

Depending on where you own property, your 2016 tax bill could be a bit higher than last year. Bills typically are mailed in November, with tax payments due by Dec. 31.

Every four years, Louisiana state law requires that every piece of property be reassessed, or valued, for taxing purposes; the work is done by the assessor's office. During off years, properties typically are reassessed only if they are sold or extensively renovated.
