In Case You Missed It: Delay Over, City Sends Out Property Tax Bills For Orleans Parish Residents

From the City of New Orleans:

January 15, 2021

The City of New Orleans today announced that it is providing residents with their 2021 property tax bills online and will be sending them out by mail.

Property tax bills have been delayed by two weeks as the City waited for final approval of the tax rolls from the State of Louisiana, as presented to the State by the Orleans Parish Tax Assessor's Office. The two agencies have worked to resolve discrepancies on the tax figures, causing a delay in their delivery to the City.

"We are committed to provide our residents the information they need as quickly as possible so that they may begin the process of resolving their property tax issues, and in as convenient a manner as possible given this unfortunate delay from the other agencies. We appreciate the patience of our residents and the diligence of these agencies to work through their issues," said Mayor LaToya Cantrell.

To search for property tax information or to make a payment, residents may visit the Orleans Parish Assessor's site, or they can also visit NOLA.gov/pay-taxes to pay online.

Payment is due Feb. 28, 2021. Residents may also visit City Hall to make a payment, using the lobby dropbox, or can mail payments directly to the Bureau of Treasury, 1300 Perdido St., Suite 1W40, New Orleans, LA 70112. Please note that residents are encouraged to mail in due to COVID-19 protocols and social distancing.
