Search New Orleans Property Assessments, Tax Bills, Maps and Ownership Records
New Orleans property records are handled through Orleans Parish. The Orleans Parish Assessor determines market value, assessed value, property characteristics, Homestead Exemption and Special Assessment Level benefits. The City of New Orleans Bureau of Treasury issues and collects real-estate taxes, while the Civil District Court Clerk’s Land Records Division maintains recorded sales, mortgages, liens and related instruments.
This 2026 guide shows how to search by owner, property address, Tax Bill Number or map, how to read assessment and tax fields, how the 121.20-mill 2026 citywide levy fits into the tax calculation, how to pay delinquent 2026 taxes, and how to act during the currently open 2027 assessment-roll and appeal period.

Louisiana terminology: New Orleans is coextensive with Orleans Parish, so the local property-assessment office is the Orleans Parish Assessor rather than a county property appraiser. For a contrasting county-based system, see the existing Lancaster County Nebraska property-search guide.
Choose the New Orleans Property Task You Need

Use Treasury to search by property address or Tax Bill Number and obtain the current delinquent payoff.
Challenge the 2027 value

Jump to Your New Orleans Property Task
How to Search New Orleans Property Assessment Records
Open the official Property Search page.
Go to Orleans Parish Assessor Property Search.
Read and accept the Assessor disclaimer.
The search is prepared for tax-assessment purposes and is not a legal survey or title record.
Start with the property address.
Use the location address rather than a mailing address whenever possible.
Try the owner’s last name.
When a name search is broad, compare the property address and legal description before opening the record.
Use the Tax Bill Number for an exact account.
The bill number is valuable for connecting the Assessor property record with Treasury.
Use map search if address or owner fails.
Locate the block and parcel visually and open the matching property.
Read the Summary section first.
Confirm owner, location address, legal description, tax bill reference and assessment information.
Review building and land details.
Check square footage, property type, land and improvement assessment before judging the value.
Look for exemptions or freezes.
Confirm Homestead Exemption and any applicable Special Assessment Level information.
Open Tax Information for payment status.
Use the Treasury connection for the actual bill and current balance rather than assuming the assessment record means taxes are paid.
Assessor disclaimer matters: Building sketches, map lines and square footage displayed through the assessment service are not legally recorded surveys. Confirm boundary questions through recorded land records and a licensed surveyor.
How to Use the New Orleans Property Viewer
The City Property Viewer is a useful second lookup when you need parcel context, zoning, GeoPIN, Tax Bill ID or a direct map view. City and Assessor data in the viewer are updated weekly.
Search by address
Begin typing the site address without unnecessary punctuation. The City suggests formats such as “801 st mary.”
Search by owner
Use the format Last Name First Name Middle Initial for the cleanest owner search.
Search by Tax Bill ID
Use the exact tax-bill identifier when the property address has multiple units or variations.
Click the parcel
The information pane can show GeoPIN, Tax Bill ID, legal description, site address and ownership information.
Review zoning
Use the displayed zoning district as a starting point for land-use research.
Measure carefully
Viewer length and area tools are estimates and are specifically not survey-grade measurements.
Six Fields to Match Before Paying or Appealing
Tax Bill ID
Match every character.
Property address
Confirm the location.
Owner
Check current record.
Legal description
Match square and lot.
Tax year
Separate 2026 from 2027.
Homestead
Verify exemption status.
New Orleans search warning: Doubles, condominiums, corner lots, vacant lots and properties with multiple municipal addresses can produce similar records. Verify the legal description and Tax Bill ID before paying.
New Orleans Property Record Field Decoder
| Field | What it means | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Tax Bill Number | Primary identifier used to connect assessment and Treasury tax records. | Match the current tax bill and Property Viewer. |
| GeoPIN | Geographic parcel identifier displayed by the City Property Viewer. | Useful for mapping and parcel identification. |
| Location Address | Assessed physical address. | Use this for historical tax-bill searches. |
| Owner | Owner shown on the Assessor assessment record. | Compare with the latest recorded ownership instrument. |
| Legal Description | Square, lot, dimensions, subdivision and related parcel wording. | Compare with Land Records before title decisions. |
| Land Assessment | Assessed value allocated to land. | This is assessed value, not necessarily full market value. |
| Improvement Assessment | Assessed value allocated to structures. | Check building size, condition and use. |
| Homestead Exemption | Qualifying reduction in taxable assessed value. | A primary residence can generally exempt the first $75,000 of market value. |
| Special Assessment Level | Eligible frozen assessment level for qualifying homeowners. | Check age, disability, veteran or other qualifying status. |
| Tax Information | Connection to the City Treasury tax account. | Use it for current paid or delinquent status. |
How New Orleans Market Value Becomes Assessed Value
Fair Market Value
The Assessor estimates the property’s market value using mass-appraisal methods.
Review property characteristics and market evidence.
Assessment Ratio
Residential property and land are generally assessed at 10% of fair market value.
Commercial and industrial improvements are generally assessed at 15%.
Exemption
A qualifying Homestead Exemption can remove up to $7,500 of assessed value from many levies.
Check that the exemption appears.
Millage
Applicable millage and special district charges produce the actual property-tax bill.
Treasury collects the result.
$300,000 Home

Commercial difference: Louisiana generally assesses commercial and industrial buildings at 15% of fair market value rather than the 10% residential ratio.
New Orleans 2026 Property Tax Millage Explained
121.20
2026 total citywide mills

Orleans Levee District
The published 2026 schedule includes a separate East Bank levee levy.
Algiers Levee District
West Bank parcels can have a separate Algiers levee millage.
Special districts
Security, development and subdivision districts can add mills or flat fees to affected parcels.

How to Pay New Orleans Property Taxes in 2026
eCheck / ACH
No City convenience fee. Treasury recommends electronic check for taxpayers paying their own property taxes.
Credit or debit card
Current processing fee is 2.49%, with the City payment page also noting a $2 minimum on card processing.
Digital wallets
As of July 2026, Treasury accepts American Express, Venmo, Google Pay, PayPal and Apple Pay; a 2.49% processing fee applies to the listed fee-based options.
Mail
Send check, money order or cashier’s check with the scannable tax-bill stub.
City Hall
Pay in person through the Bureau of Treasury at 1300 Perdido Street, Room 1W40.
Partial payment
Treasury allows partial tax payments through eligible offline methods, but partial payments are not accepted through the online payment checkout.
Search the live bill first.
Use the current balance rather than the amount on an older statement.
Confirm the Tax Bill Number.
Match the Assessor and Property Viewer before submitting money.
Choose the payment method.
eCheck currently avoids the City service fee.
Online payment requires the full balance selected.
Partial payments cannot be completed through the web checkout.
Save both eCheck confirmations.
Treasury explains that the first confirms the payment attempt and the second confirms the bank-account draft.
Wait for posting before paying again.
Online payments can take 24–48 hours to appear and are not updated on weekends or holidays.
ACH debit block: If the bank account blocks unauthorized ACH debits, contact the financial institution before paying so the City transaction is not rejected.
How to Find Historical New Orleans Property Tax Bills
Open Historical Property Tax Bills.
Use New Orleans Historical Tax Bills.
Search by the assessed location address.
Use the Location Address shown in the Orleans Parish Assessor record for better results.
Or search owner or Tax Bill Number.
Be specific because common names and streets can generate many results.
Filter by tax year.
Historical PDF bills are available from 2008 forward.
Use the PDF viewer tools.
Print or save the tax bill from the built-in viewer.
Do not use historical PDF for payoff.
Historical bills show the as-printed bill, not the current amount due after payments, interest or tax-sale activity.
Bulk research: Treasury currently provides 2017–2026 tax rolls online for tax servicers, mortgage companies, banks and abstractors. The rolls include base tax billed, Homestead Exemption and related bill information.

New Orleans Homestead Exemption Requirements
A qualifying Orleans Parish homeowner can exempt the first $75,000 of market value, equivalent to $7,500 of assessed value, from most applicable property taxes on the owner-occupied primary residence.
Primary residence
The applicant must own and occupy the New Orleans property as the principal residence.
Ownership proof
Prepare proof showing the applicant owns the property.
Louisiana ID
Driver’s license or state ID must reflect the property address.
Utility evidence
Provide an accepted current residential bill with matching name, service location and mailing address.
Virtual appointments
Electronic copies of the application and supporting records are required.
One domicile
An individual or married couple can generally claim only one Homestead Exemption.
Prepare these documents
- Completed Homestead application
- Proof of property ownership
- Louisiana driver’s license or state ID
- Accepted residential utility bill
- Matching physical property address
- Tax Bill Number
- Date the property became occupied
- Ownership percentage
Utility-document rule: The Assessor states that Sewerage & Water Board bills are not accepted as the utility evidence for Homestead filing. The Assessor lists qualifying Entergy, cable or eligible landline documentation instead.
Missing exemption on tax bill: If the taxpayer is entitled to Homestead but Treasury displays no exemption, contact the Assessor immediately and notify the mortgage company. A correction can generate a supplemental bill.
New Orleans Age, Disability and Veteran Assessment Freezes
Age Freeze
The homeowner must generally be at least 65 by December 31 of the relevant year, have Homestead Exemption and meet the Louisiana income requirement.
Disability Freeze
A qualifying owner must have Homestead Exemption and provide a current state or federal disability declaration or qualifying VA documentation.
Disabled Veteran Benefits
Louisiana provides property-tax relief for qualifying disabled veterans, with supporting VA determination documents required.
Confirm Homestead Exemption first.
Special Assessment Level programs generally require the property to have Homestead status.
Download SPA 1 or applicable form.
Use the Assessor’s Forms page.
Prepare matching identification.
The property address should match the valid Louisiana ID.
Prepare eligibility documents.
Age applicants need household-income proof; disability and veteran applicants need applicable award or determination evidence.
Meet the assessment-roll deadline.
Freeze applications are tied closely to the annual open-roll closing period.
Income evidence for Age Freeze: The Assessor lists Social Security award letters, retirement or pension awards and a signed prior-year federal Form 1040 among accepted proof. It states that bank statements and W-2s are not accepted as the required proof of household income.
Orleans Parish Supplemental Assessment Roll
When an Assessor change order creates increased tax liability after the regular assessment process, the property can be placed on a supplemental assessment roll and the owner receives written notice with appeal procedures.
Possible trigger
Corrected value, ownership, exemption or other Assessor change that increases tax liability.
Separate notice
Owners placed on a supplemental roll are provided written notice and appeal procedures.
Separate bill
Treasury can issue a supplemental tax bill after the assessment change is processed.
Do not ignore supplemental mail: A supplemental assessment has its own notice and appeal route. Do not assume the regular August Board of Review deadline is the only deadline that can ever apply.
Search Orleans Parish Supplemental Tax Roll
Open the current supplemental-roll page and check the mailed notice before filing or paying.
New Orleans Business Personal Property Tax Records
Louisiana ad valorem taxation also applies to many assets used in a business, including inventory or merchandise, furnishings, fixtures, machinery, equipment and qualifying leasehold improvements.

Delinquent interest
Treasury states that interest accrues at 1% per month.

Confirm redemption documents after payment.
Preserve written evidence that the tax-sale or adjudication claim was removed.
2025-and-prior redemption: The City currently states that redemption can require the amount paid by the tax-sale purchaser, 1% monthly interest, a 5% penalty, current taxes and other indebtedness.
Redemption periods are legally important: The City describes a general three-year tax-sale redemption period, with shorter periods possible for valid blight judgments. Older expired-redemption disputes can become civil legal matters.
Open Tax Sales, Tax Lien Certificates & Adjudications
