Yo property tax bill be coming bro!

NOLA

"Waiting on your property tax bill in New Orleans? So is the rest of the city.

Blame paperwork problems and overly optimistic city officials for holding up the annual notices telling property owners how much they need to pay.

Tax bills typically go out during the last weeks of December. But because of problems that prevented the certification of the tax rolls, the earliest they could now be sent is this week.

None of the issues will change the taxes owed by residents. But City Hall said it will adjust the deadline for payments once the bills are sent out.

Cantrell’s administration referred questions about the tax bills to the assessor’s office and Louisiana Tax Commission."

They are not finished calculating the Carjacking Privilege Fee and the Third World Road and Pothole Tax.

Toya is probably pissed that none of her millage bills passed so she's about take it out on us.

That's the genius of the longstanding ineptitude of the N.O. mayor's office. No one can say what's an incompetent frick up or brash embezzlement

I see her office passed the ball to the assessor and state office.

You left out the best part of the article. The morons in City Hall assumed their stupid reallocation of funds would pass in December.

quote:

The delays are, at least in part, due to misplaced optimism on the part of the Cantrell administration. When the Orleans Parish assessor’s office sent the city’s tax rates to the state for approval Nov. 17, they included numbers that were submitted by the administration and that assumed voters two weeks later would approve a package reconfiguring several taxes, said Devin Johnson, a spokesperson for the office.

But voters roundly rejected those plans following a campaign objecting to deep revenue cuts proposed for the public library system. While that vote left the overall amount property owners will pay the same, it changed how the taxes would be divvied up among different agencies.

People should pay 25% of the bill and write “Phase 1 MoFo” on the check.

It's likely this plus the furloughs.

But the city can't outright say either of those things. I'm sure the people in those offices are thrilled that they are thrown under the bus.

How long before they realize that if you don’t send a bill, you won’t get paid ?

I bet they won't like it if "paperwork problems" occur when it comes time to send payment.

Won’t change tax owed by residents? bullshite!

They are recalculating because Destroyah had them budget for this coming year with the increased taxes factored in and now they have to fudge numbers to justify the bills.

State of LA typically will take the word of a taxpayer who blames state incompetence for it.

Unless your name is Tara Wicker.

There were no "increased taxes" on the ballot in December. The 2021 revenue from property taxes would have been the same either way. Cantrell was just looking for an easy way to divert that money to her slush funds.
