What you'll pay, at a glance

Property taxes are the largest local tax most homeowners pay. The effective rate measures the real tax bill as a share of home value — a more useful number than the nominal “mill rate,” because assessment practices vary county to county.

How this is calculated

The effective property tax rate is the median real-estate tax bill divided by the median home value — both for owner-occupied homes, from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS 5-year estimates)1. Median income is also from the ACS1. Federal and state income-tax figures use IRS2 and Tax Foundation3 data.

About Evangeline Parish, LA

Evangeline Parish sits well below both the Louisiana and national averages for property taxes. At 0.291%, the effective rate here trails the statewide median of 0.438% and falls far short of the national median of 0.794%. Among Louisiana's 64 counties, this one ranks 56th, placing it near the bottom for tax burden. A home valued at the median of $124,600 carries an annual real-estate tax bill of just $362. With median household income at $41,915 and per-capita income at $25,351, that tax bill amounts to a tiny slice of yearly earnings. Communities like Mamou, Chataignier, and Pine Prairie all fall within this parish's borders. The picture that emerges is one of a place where property taxes take a notably small bite out of household budgets, a meaningful advantage for owners in a parish where incomes run below many other parts of the country.

Frequently asked questions

What is the property tax rate in Evangeline Parish, LA?
The effective rate is 0.29% — meaning the median tax bill equals about 0.29% of the median home value.
How much are property taxes on a median home?
On the median home ($124,600), the estimated annual bill is about $362.
Is Evangeline Parish's rate high or low?
Compare it to the state median of 0.44% and the national average near 1.1%.
How does the effective rate differ from my mill rate?
A mill rate is the nominal levy per $1,000 of assessed value. The effective rate reflects what you actually pay after exemptions and assessments — it's the median tax bill as a share of median home value, so it better predicts your real cost.
Will a reassessment raise my tax bill?
Not necessarily. If your home's assessed value rises, your bill can go up, but only if the mill rate and exemptions stay flat. Contact the Evangeline Parish assessor's office to review your current assessment.
Can I appeal my property tax assessment?
Yes. Most counties allow an appeal when you believe the assessed value exceeds the market value. File with the Evangeline Parish assessor within the local deadline, typically with comparable sales as evidence.
