How This Calculator Works
Louisiana's average effective property tax rate is 0.55% of a home's value each year, 21st of 51, near the middle. On the state's typical home, worth about $205,000, that comes to roughly $1,128 a year, or $94 a month in escrow.
Because home prices differ so much, the yearly bill ranks differently from the rate: Louisiana's bill on a typical home is 3rd from the bottom of 51, among the lowest. On a $350,000 home it would be about $1,925.
None of Louisiana's neighbors has a lower average rate; the table below compares them.
These are Louisiana averages; your county, city and school district set the actual bill.
