Search Tangipahoa Parish Property by Owner, Address, Assessment Number, 2026 Value, Taxes, GIS and Deeds
The correct Louisiana office is the Tangipahoa Parish Assessor, not a county assessor. The current Assessor is Kevin Raiford, CLA. His official search system provides ownership, assessment, legal-description, transfer, homestead, freeze, building, land-sale and millage information for Tangipahoa Parish property.
Property taxes are a separate workflow. Sheriff Gerald Sticker serves as ex-officio Tax Collector, and the Sheriff’s tax system can search a tax notice by taxpayer name, property address or assessment number.
2026 Assessment Review Season Is About to Begin — Do Not Wait for November Tax Bills
Louisiana requires Tangipahoa’s assessment roll to be open for public inspection for 15 days during the August 15–September 15 period. This is when owners should check assessed value, homestead, freeze status, property facts and ownership before the roll is certified.
Exact 2026 dates
As of August 13, the Assessor’s website has not posted a clearly labeled 2026 local Open Book and Board of Review schedule.
Do not use the old schedule
The visible Assessor homepage schedule is expressly labeled 2025 and should not be copied as a 2026 deadline.
Tax roll certification
Tangipahoa says the parish tax roll must be filed and certified by the Louisiana Tax Commission by November 15.
Best action now: search your assessment before August 15, save the assessment number, verify Homestead and Freeze fields, and monitor the Assessor’s official notice for Tangipahoa’s exact 2026 public-inspection and Board of Review appeal dates.
The Sheriff’s payment page still prominently references 2025 ad valorem taxes. That is expected in August because Tangipahoa annual tax notices are normally mailed in November. Do not interpret the absence of a 2026 bill as proof that no 2026 tax will be due.

Choose the best search type.
The official portal supports Taxpayer Name, Property Address, Taxpayer Address, Assessment Number, Subdivision and Section/Township/Range.
Start broad when searching a name.
If an exact full taxpayer name fails, use the strongest surname or business/trust wording.
Use Property Address for a known house or tract.
This is different from Taxpayer Address, which is the owner’s mailing address.
Use Assessment Number when available.
This is normally the cleanest identifier for matching an Assessor record to the Sheriff’s tax notice.
Open the matching assessment.
Confirm taxpayer, property location, Ward and legal description.
Check Homestead and Freeze Applied.
These fields can materially change taxable value.
Review land and improvements.
Check assessed value, tax value, building year, square footage and land information for errors.
Review Book & Page and Transfer Date.
These can help route you to the recorded conveyance at the Clerk of Court.
Switch to the Sheriff for payment.
The Assessor values property; the Sheriff collects taxes.
Which Tangipahoa Assessor Search Field Should You Use?
Taxpayer Name
Best when you know the person, company, estate or trust that appears on the assessment.
Property Address
Best when you know where the property is physically located.
Taxpayer Address
Useful when looking for properties tied to a known owner mailing address.
Assessment Number
Best identifier for moving between assessment and tax-payment research.
Subdivision
Useful for subdivision, lot and neighborhood research.
Section / Township / Range
Useful for rural tracts and properties without a dependable street-address search.

What it means
Why it matters
Assessment Number
Unique assessment-account identifier.
Use it for Assessor and Sheriff tax-notice research.
Taxpayer Name & Address
Tax-roll owner/taxpayer and mailing address.
Different from the physical property address.
Homestead
Shows whether Homestead Exemption is applied.
Can remove up to the qualifying homestead amount from parish taxation.
Freeze Applied
Shows whether a qualifying Special Assessment Level is applied.
Can limit increases in the assessed value under qualifying rules.
Book & Page
Recorded conveyance reference.
Helps locate the underlying deed in Clerk records.
Total Assessment
Total taxable assessment before/after applicable adjustments as reflected in the record.
Millage is applied to taxable assessed value—not directly to market value.
H/S Value
Homestead amount reflected in the assessment.
A standard residential Homestead can appear as up to $7,500 of assessed-value relief.
Ward
Local tax/administrative geography.
Helps explain city limits and district-specific millages.
Parish / City Taxes
Estimated tax amounts associated with the assessment.
Homestead applies to qualifying parish taxes but not city taxes.

2026 Open Book & Board of Review
How to Challenge a Tangipahoa Parish 2026 Assessment
Search the assessment now.
Verify owner, address, legal description, land, improvements, Homestead and Freeze status.
Compare the value with evidence.
The Assessor says useful evidence can include a recent appraisal dated within the last year or the declaration page from a homeowner’s insurance policy.
Watch for the 2026 Open Book notice.
State law requires a 15-day inspection period between August 15 and September 15.
Contact Kevin Raiford’s office during review.
Discuss factual errors or valuation questions before the roll is locked.
Do not rely on Tangipahoa’s 2025 schedule.
The old dates currently displayed on the Assessor site are not a substitute for the official 2026 notice.
File a Board of Review appeal if unresolved.
Follow the 2026 filing date and procedure advertised by Tangipahoa for the current roll.
Keep your evidence.
If the matter proceeds beyond the parish Board of Review, Louisiana Tax Commission review can require the record and supporting valuation evidence.
Critical timing: do not wait until the Sheriff mails a November property-tax notice. The assessment-review process occurs before the final tax roll is certified.
Tangipahoa’s Next Parishwide Re-Evaluation Is 2028
The Assessor states that Tangipahoa performs its constitutionally required parishwide re-evaluation every four years and that the next re-evaluation will occur in 2028.
2026 is not the next quadrennial revaluation year
Most unchanged property remains within the current four-year valuation cycle.
Values can still change
New construction, additions, land acquisitions, parcel-status changes or correction of appraisal errors can change an assessment between revaluation years.
Sales still matter
The Assessor analyzes recorded sales and indexes market evidence back to the last reassessment cycle as required by state law.
“Next re-evaluation 2028” does not mean every Tangipahoa parcel must stay frozen through 2027. Property-specific changes can still create a new or corrected assessment.
Principal residence benefit
Tangipahoa Parish Homestead Exemption
Up to $75,000 property value
Tangipahoa’s Assessor describes the standard Homestead Exemption as covering the first $75,000 of a qualifying owner-occupied residence.
Equivalent $7,500 assessment
At the residential 10% ratio, the maximum standard Homestead equates to $7,500 of assessed-value relief.
One Homestead
Louisiana law allows a taxpayer only one Homestead Exemption.
Parish vs. city taxes: Tangipahoa states that Homestead Exemption applies to parish taxes, not city taxes. A Hammond, Ponchatoula, Amite or other municipal tax can therefore remain even when parish taxable value is substantially reduced.
To sign up, the Assessor instructs homeowners to bring their closing documents to the office.
50%–69% disability
Tangipahoa currently lists a $100,000 Homestead Exemption level.
70%–99% disability
Tangipahoa currently lists a $120,000 Homestead Exemption level.
100% disability
The Assessor states a qualifying veteran can receive full exemption from parish taxes.
City taxes do not receive the Tangipahoa Homestead Exemption treatment described on the Assessor’s page, so confirm municipal tax separately.
Special Assessment Level
Tangipahoa Age-65 & Disabled Assessment Freeze
The Special Assessment Freeze limits increases in the qualifying assessed value; it does not freeze millage rates or guarantee that the final tax bill can never increase.
Age 65+
A qualifying homeowner age 65 or older can apply if the applicable income requirement is met.
Disabled homeowner
A taxpayer with qualifying Social Security disability documentation can also apply.
Homestead required
The freeze applies to the residence on which the applicant claims Homestead Exemption.
Tangipahoa’s current Assessor page states an adjusted-gross-income threshold of $100,000 or less and also notes that the statutory limit is adjusted for inflation each year. Verify the current-year threshold with the Assessor when applying.
The Assessor says the freeze can be cancelled after a sale or when qualifying additions increase the primary home’s value by more than 25% of the value on the current roll.
The Assessor’s current guidance describes an additional $25,000 property-value exemption for qualifying first responders under Louisiana’s constitutional/statutory program.
Covered occupations
The Assessor lists firefighters, volunteer firefighters, EMS personnel, dispatchers, peace officers, police officers and sheriffs.
Residence + employment
The applicant must reside and work in the parish for which the exemption is claimed.
Annual documentation
Tangipahoa says qualifying applicants must provide documentation every year.
The employer completes the form, the employee has it notarized, and Tangipahoa instructs applicants to hand-deliver the completed application to either the Hammond or Amite Assessor office.
Agricultural / qualifying land use
Tangipahoa Parish Use Value Eligibility
3 acres or more
One route to eligibility is a qualifying assessment of at least three acres.
$2,000 average annual gross income
A second route is qualifying production averaging at least $2,000 annually over the preceding four years.
No subdivision assessments
Tangipahoa explicitly states that assessments in subdivisions cannot receive Use Value.
Use Value is not simply a general discount for owning acreage. Check the property’s classification, acreage, production history and subdivision status with the Assessor before assuming eligibility.
April 1, 2026
Tangipahoa required the LAT 5 return by April 1, 2026, or within 45 days of receipt where applicable.
15% ratio
Business movables such as inventory and machinery are assessed at 15%.
Not public online
Tangipahoa states business personal-property information is not public information.
Examples include inventory/merchandise, furniture and fixtures, machinery and equipment, leasehold improvements and leased equipment.
As of August 13, 2026, the ordinary April 1 filing date has passed. Businesses with an unfiled or disputed LAT 5 should contact the Assessor’s Hammond branch at 985-345-6226.

How to Search Tangipahoa Parish Property Taxes
Find the assessment first.
Save the taxpayer name, property address and Assessment Number from the Assessor.
Choose Pay Property Tax.
The Sheriff links to Louisiana Parish Tax for the live tax-notice lookup.
Search by Taxpayer Name, Property Address or Assessment Number.
Those are the three tax-notice search options published by TPSO.
Confirm the tax year.
In August 2026 the Sheriff page still references 2025 taxes because 2026 notices are normally mailed later in the year.
Check for municipal taxes separately.
The Clerk notes that city or town taxes must be paid to the applicable municipality rather than assumed to be included in the parish payment workflow.
Review the transaction fee.
TPSO currently lists a 3.99% total fee for online credit/debit-card transactions.
Save proof of payment.
TPSO says taxpayers are responsible for confirming payment has been received.

2026 taxes due

Sheriff tax-payment methods
Tangipahoa Property Tax Payment Options & Fees
Online Card
Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express are accepted.
Current card fee
TPSO lists a total convenience/transaction fee of 3.99%.
ACH / Check
TPSO lists ACH check capability in its tax-payment information; ordinary check payments can also be handled under its mail/in-person rules.
In Person
Tax payments can be handled at Sheriff locations in Amite and Hammond during published office hours.
Amite tax location: 313 E. Oak Street, Amite, LA 70422. Hammond: 15475 Club Deluxe Road, Hammond, LA. Published hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
If taxes are escrowed, TPSO advises owners to forward the tax notice to the mortgage lender. If you recently purchased property, the notice can still be mailed to the previous owner, so search the tax system even if no paper bill arrives.
After December 31
What Happens When Tangipahoa Property Taxes Are Late?
January 1
Taxes unpaid after December 31 become delinquent.
1% per month
TPSO currently states delinquent tax interest accrues at 1% per month on a non-compounding basis.
Collection costs
Statutory collection costs can also be added.
Tax lien auction
Continued nonpayment can cause the tax lien to be offered at auction.
TPSO states the taxpayer retains the right to pay the amounts due until the day before the tax lien auction. If the lien is sold, terminating it can require the delinquent obligation, a 5% penalty, applicable interest and other amounts required by law.
For a delinquent property, use the live Sheriff payoff rather than the Assessor’s displayed historical tax estimate because interest and collection costs change over time.
Parish vs. city tax calculator
Tangipahoa Parish Property Tax Calculator
Enter market value, the correct Louisiana assessment ratio, parish millage and any city millage. The calculator separates Homestead treatment because Tangipahoa states Homestead applies to parish taxes but not city taxes.
Gross assessed value$0.00
Estimated parish tax$0.00
Estimated city tax$0.00
Planning total$0.00
Planning only: Tangipahoa millage varies by ward, municipality and special district. The Assessor notes that the parish contains numerous parishwide and district-specific taxes. Use the exact millage lines shown on the current assessment/tax notice instead of copying a rate from a different property.
TanGIS parcel & district mapping
Use TanGIS for Property, Flood, Taxation and District Maps
Tangipahoa’s GIS combines information from Parish Government, the Assessor, Clerk, 911, FEMA and other sources.
Property
Parcel and assessment-related map information.
Flood

Current portal status: Tangipahoa Parish Government’s TanGIS page currently warns that maps are down for upgrade. If a map will not load, use the Assessor search first and retry the GIS portal later rather than assuming the parcel is missing.
TanGIS expressly states its parcel and lot boundaries are not survey products and should not be used for conveyance, sales, legal boundaries or as the basis for permit issuance.

A Mortgage Certificate is not a title opinion and does not establish ownership. The Clerk says a certificate is generally valid for 30 days and requires names plus a legal property description.
Free real-estate transaction alerts
Monitor New Tangipahoa Recorded Property Activity
The Tangipahoa Clerk of Court lists Free Real Estate Transaction Alerts among its electronic services.
After confirming the correct owner name and recorded-property information, consider registering for the Clerk’s alert service so new matching recording activity can be surfaced sooner.
Recent purchase warning: the Sheriff says a tax notice can still be mailed to the prior owner when property was acquired within the last year. Search the assessment and tax systems yourself rather than assuming no mailed notice means no tax is due.

4. How much is the Tangipahoa Parish Homestead Exemption?

6. When is Tangipahoa Parish’s next property re-evaluation?

Find the Correct County Office
Property Appraiser, Tax Collector, Clerk, GIS, and VAB offices do different jobs. Pick your task below.
Quick rule: Property Appraiser = value, records, parcel details, exemptions. Tax Collector = bill and payment.
Clerk/Recorder = deeds and recorded documents. VAB = formal value disputes.
Official Property Search Helper
Use this when a county article tells you to search by owner, address, parcel number, folio, PCN, STRAP, or alternate key.
Search tip: If address search fails, try only the house number and main street name. Avoid typing Street, Avenue, Road,
Drive, unit numbers, or punctuation unless the official portal requires it.
Homestead Exemption Readiness Check
This helps homeowners prepare before filing through the official county Property Appraiser website.
Important: This is not an eligibility decision. The official county Property Appraiser decides approval,
required documents, late filing options, and exemption status.
TRIM Notice & Value Review Helper
Use this to organize your questions before calling the Property Appraiser or preparing an appeal.
