Louisiana Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption
East Baton Rouge Parish Assessor's Office / Louisiana Constitution
About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs Louisiana Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption in its Baton Rouge, LA research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
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).
