The Louisiana Tax Commission has published its 2024 Open Book Dates. Once fully updated, the annual publication will identify each parish’s 15-day open rolls period during which property taxpayers can review the assessor’s determination of their property’s fair market value; informally discuss/dispute the valuation with the assessor; and consider filing a formal appeal. The Open Book Dates also describe the dates by which an appeal must be filed.

Each parish’s open rolls period occurs between August 15th and September 15th – other than Orleans Parish, which has a four-week period occurring between July 15th and August 15th – but the specific dates vary. The LTC’s Open Book Dates publication does not yet include each parish’s open roll period. It is imperative, therefore, that taxpayers check for updates and with their local assessor’s office.

If you have questions regarding your property’s specific open rolls period or would like to discuss an appeal to the assessor’s fair market value determination, please contact one of our attorneys. We are ready to assist you.
