Louisiana Property Tax Exemption for Seniors Amendment (2026)
Source: voterportal.sos.la.gov
What does this measure do?
Louisiana parishes and cities could ask their voters to create an extra property tax break for homeowners 65 and older that grows with age until 81. Nothing changes until your parish holds its own vote, and local governments would absorb the lost tax money.
