LaTonya has a new way to increase revenue

Massive increases to property appraisals
Legal, doesn’t require a vote, and is difficult to evade. At least she’s doing it to her constituents instead of nailing tourists.

Are properties now being under assessed? This is a problem in EBR where two identical properties can have two entirely different assessments.
Even with her Homestead Exemption?
quote:
She said her assessment last year valued her property and home at $167,000, which she said was reasonable because she purchased her home at $135,000. This year's assessment, which by law has to happen at least once every four years, put her house value at $416,000.

I was always afraid of this living in Nola because most of the property is undervalued at the assessors office.

For those who do not live in New Orleans, who is “LaTonya,”

This bitch will make them miss the pandering white boy

y'all need to fight those assessments with a certified appraisal. LaTonya won't stop until you fight back

The problem continues to be not only inconsistent appraisals, but preferential treatment for favored groups.
Yes, I’m talking about the actual corrupt appraisals where friends, family members, and the politically connected get preferential treatment, but it goes beyond that.
The practice seems to be that anyone who complains and provides even a modicum of a plausible objection gets at least SOME break on the appraisal.
IF you happen to fit in the “marginalized group” stereotype, your appeal is greatly enhanced.
IF you are a working person and don’t have time to wait hours (sometimes the wait can be 10 hours, or even be required to come back another day after waiting for hours) then you are SOL.
This is not happenstance, IMO. It’s by design. I know for a fact that “historically disadvantaged” groups actually discuss using their skin color as grounds for getting a break.

When rents go up she will condemn “Greedy Landlords”!

I've asked this in a different thread but I am confused about how Louisiana does assessments. We own property in 3 states and they all follow the same basic procedures.
The assessed value can go up to whatever the assessor believes is fair cash value. if it goes up a certain amount, the landowner should get a notice and if they dispute it, there are due process rights.
However, your taxable value can only go up 3-5% (3% if homesteaded) per year until the property is transferred. For instance, if you have owned a piece for a long time the assessed value could quadruple but you would never be paying on that amount in your lifetime.

BR and NOLA are fricked. It’s time y’all realize it and start doing something about it. Personally, I moved, but probably not far enough away.

Well, someone voted for LaTonya...

Property taxes are theft. Plain and simple.
-I paid taxes on my income.
-I paid taxes when I bought the materials with that already taxed income.
-The labor I used to assemble said taxed materials paid taxes, which cost me more because of those taxes, and increased the “cost” of my assembling those taxed materials, thereby increasing the “assessed value” of my home.
Then, just because it’s fricking sitting here, not doing a damned thing, I have to pay taxes again!!! frick. frick. frick. frick. frick.
ETA- It’s like the fricking mafia shaking me down for their annual cut. I’d rather pay the mafia than my city/parish though; at least the mafia might give me a case of Italian wine for my daughter’s wedding and would probably do a better job at keeping the rift raft off my streets.
