East Baton Rouge Parish Homestead Exemption

About This Program

Louisiana's homestead exemption exempts the first $75,000 of a primary residence's value from property taxes, reducing the assessed value by up to $7,500. Only one exemption may be claimed per household. Homeowners must own and reside on the property. Once filed, the exemption renews automatically as long as ownership and occupancy continue.

At typical EBR Parish millage rates (~120 mills), a $7,500 assessed value reduction saves approximately $900/year in property taxes.
