Louisiana Proposes Constitutional Amendment for Ad Valorem Tax Millage Adjustments

The Louisiana Legislature passed a joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment addressing ad valorem property tax millage rate adjustments for local taxing authorities. The amendment allows these authorities to levy millage rates up to the previously authorized maximums by a two-thirds vote and public hearings without additional voter approval. The proposed amendment will be submitted to voters in the November 2026 election. [H.B. 521, adopted 05/21/26]
