I used Google and found the General State Sales tax is 4%. However it also states that most parishes tack on an additional tax ranging anywhere from 1-5.5%. Does anyone know where I can find the rate for Lafourche parish?

If you live in Thibodaux proper, 8% total (city, parish, state).

Varies from 8%-9.2% based on your domicile.

Not sure but aren't car dealers obligated to charge the sales tax rate of the parish where the buyer resides?

Yes but, for example, if you're away in college but still domiciled at parents' residence, they can use either. One in Lake Charles did for me anyway.

Correct! I live in Lafourche so I need the Lafourche rate. I did a little more digging and it seems I am looking at 8.5%
