Really? We have family land that is mostly swamp, bordered on 2 sides by water and has no roads to it. We pay pennies on the dollar for taxes compared to my residential property tax.

It's the same rate as the non submerged land you have in that area. There is no Louisiana property tax, only local (parish and city in Lafayette, possibly school board or school district or other types of taxes in other places). It's based on the value of your property as determined by the parish tax assessor, typically. Some (possibly most) jurisdictions have different rates for different types of property. That often means undeveloped property and farmland are taxed at a lower percentage than residential property and business property is usually handled differently, as well.
