"Thank you for visiting St. Mary Parish Assessor's website. I hope the information will assist you in understanding the property tax process. This website includes information on homestead exemption and special assessment levels ("freeze").

As a taxpayer and property owner in St. Mary Parish, each individual is concerned with being assessed fairly and accurately. The laws governing property assessments are enacted by the Louisiana Legislature. The guidelines for assessors to follow are created and administered by the Louisiana Tax Commission. All property taxes are calculated using the assessed values of the property and the current millage in the area in which the property is located. All millage's are subject to voter approval by the residents of St. Mary Parish.

As your Assessor, it is my responsibility to interpret these laws, to be fair and equitable, and to serve the residents of St. Mary Parish in an effective and courteous manner.

As your Assessor, I will always have an 'open door policy.' If at any time my staff or I can be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact us or come by the office. "

Sincerely,
Jarrod K. Longman, CLA
Assessor
