Appeals Process
Each year in accordance with the revised statutes, the assessor's office opens its books for public inspection. The books are open for 15 calendar days (as distinguished from 15 business days) for inspection by the public to review current assessments. It is at that time that you may discuss any discrepancies in the assessed value of your property. After public inspection, the Metro Council sits as a board of review to hear any complaints. If the Metro Council agrees with either the Assessor or complainant, either of the parties can appeal their decision to the Louisiana Tax Commission. After the first of August each year, a call to the Assessor's office will reveal the open dates scheduled for that year.

Because I believe that owning a primary residence free and clear, which includes not paying property tax on it, should be an option for everyone. Even if you pay your house off, you never really own it. It's messed up if you think about it.
So how exactly do you want to pay for police, fire, schools, water, sewer, street lighting, mosquito control, BREC, etc.

Tried that back in the 1800's. Multiple Fire companies would respond to fires with the "first to arrive" being awarded the $ to fight the fire. Many times the firefighters would beat each other up in the streets while the house burned.
It's a difficult concept to admit but there are some services government can provide better/cheaper than private enterprise.

I NEVER pulled permits. I was interviewing contractors, Vette Guy remembers me asking for a rec, but things happened and it never got beyond that.
So I didn't do anything at all to raise the suspicions of the Office. Probably more than anything else, I am wondering what caused them to come knocking NOW.

can I appeal and how does that go
you can appeal, and it depends on if they over-assessed your property and if you think hiring someone to perform an appraisal / advocate on your behalf in the appeal process
