- Tax Bill Numbers can be found on the physical bill received in the mail or online using the Assessor's Search Records function
- The Search Records function allows you to find property information by owner name, property address or Tax Bill Number
- Once your property is found, click on the 'Tax Information' link and it will take you directly to the City's site showing your tax bill information
- Be sure the information showing matches your property, including address and owner name
- To pay taxes in person, go to the Bureau of Treasury, located in room 1W40 on the first floor of City Hall, 1300 Perdido
- Tax payments are due by Tuesday, January 31, 2012

- The Assessor's Office cannot change your property valuation until the open rolls period from August 1, 2012 - August 15, 2012
- If you do not have a Homestead Exemption and you think you may qualify for one, you still have to pay your taxes on time and in full
- A Homestead Exemption can still be applied to your property after you have paid your bill
- You can apply for your Homestead Exemption at any time

The Assessor's Office is your ally in helping a property owner review the facts about a property's record, its features, and its comparison to other neighboring properties so an accurate, fair market value can be set.
Our job is to establish fair market values for all properties, including residential, commercial, business and personal property records of approximately 166,000 real, and 10,000 business accounts in Orleans Parish as accurately as possible.
To do this, the Orleans Parish Assessor utilizes a computer-assisted mass appraisal system for maintaining property data and values to achieve greater tax equity through a uniform, transparent automated system.
Our mission is to make sure every property owner in Orleans Parish pays their fair share--no more, no less--to build and maintain a quality community.
