Louisiana Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption

About This Program

Louisiana provides additional property tax exemptions on top of the homestead exemption for disabled veterans. Veterans with a 100% service-connected disability rating receive a full exemption on all remaining assessed value. Veterans rated 50–69% receive an extra $2,500 exemption; those rated 70–99% receive an extra $4,500 exemption. Surviving spouses of qualifying veterans may also be eligible.

100% disabled veterans with homestead exemption effectively pay zero property taxes on their primary residence (only minimum tax applies).
