give up homestead exemption and potentially pay more property taxes
You are touching the third rail of Louisiana politics....and threatening the Assessors employment security.
People in Louisiana will pay 10% sales tax for their food, higher auto insurance rates and will suffer with an average state income tax rate of about 3% ( based on a median income of 40K for single filers....ranks about 40th in the country)....but they will not pay more for property taxes....even when those property taxes would generally be used close to home for the fire, police and schools.

People in EBR parish would disagree, we have repeatedly voted for higher property taxes for schools, parks, libraries, old folks, and buses.
Personally I'd like a homestead exemption reform as well as closer scrutiny of assessor.
