St. Tammany Parish Louisiana Property Record Navigator
Search St. Tammany Assessments, GIS Parcels, Homestead Records and Land Documents
Louisiana uses parishes rather than counties, so the official office behind a “St. Tammany County property assessor” search is the St. Tammany Parish Assessor’s Office. Assessor Louis Fitzmorris, CLA identifies, lists and values property, maintains assessment records, administers exemptions and special assessment levels, and receives the first stage of a property-value review.
This guide connects the Assessor’s text search and GIS parcel viewer with the Sheriff/Tax Collector’s tax system and the Clerk of Court’s newly launched 2026 land-record portal. It also explains the upcoming August assessment-review period, Louisiana’s 10% and 15% assessment classifications, homestead exemption, $102,700 special-assessment income limit, disabled-veteran benefits, business LAT-5 filings and deed, mortgage and lien research.

The Most Important St. Tammany Property Dates Are Still Ahead
The official 2026 assessment exposure and review period begins August 17. Property owners have until Monday, August 31, 2026 to submit a timely Assessment Review to the St. Tammany Parish Assessor.
Check the 2026 roll now
The Assessor says the 2026 tax roll may be available online as early as August 1 so owners have additional time to inspect records before the official exposure period.
Assessor review deadline
Monday, August 31, 2026 is the last day of the official public inspection/exposure/review period and the deadline for a timely Assessment Review.
Board of Review deadline
If a timely Assessor review remains unresolved, an appeal to the Parish Board of Review is due Monday, September 14, 2026 at 4:30 p.m.
Do not wait for the November tax bill: The Assessor specifically warns owners not to wait until tax bills are mailed to challenge the assessment. Assessment-review rights are tied to the August review period.
Storm damage exception: The Assessor states that storm-review applications may be filed when property is affected by a hurricane, flood, tornado or similar qualifying event regardless of the ordinary annual review deadline.

Why the title uses “County”: Many searchers use “St. Tammany County,” but Louisiana has parishes rather than counties. The legal local office is the St. Tammany Parish Assessor.
Compare structures: Louisiana’s elected parish-assessor model is very different from Texas appraisal districts. The distinction is explained in this Bexar County property appraisal and tax guide.

How to Search St. Tammany Parish Assessor Property Records
Open the official Assessor search.
Go directly to the St. Tammany Parish Assessment Search.
Use the search-type drop-down.
The Assessor permits searches by owner name, property address, assessment number, mailing address, care-of field or property description.
Choose the correct year.
Use the year selector when comparing 2026 with a prior assessment.
Keep address searches simple.
If the first search fails, try alternate abbreviations such as Street/St., Highway/Hwy. or reduce the query to the house number and core street name.
Open all plausible records.
An owner may have a residence, vacant lot, commercial account, business personal-property account or multiple adjoining assessments.
Match the property description.
Compare lot, subdivision, instrument references, address and assessment number.
Scroll to tax detail.
The Assessor instructs users to select “Show Tax Detail” at the bottom of the assessment to see millages and the dollar distribution of taxes.
Save the 2026 record before filing.
Keep a dated PDF, screenshot or print copy together with your supporting evidence.
The assessment lookup is free: The Assessor states that checking an assessment through its website is a public service and does not require credit-card information or payment.

How to Use the St. Tammany GIS Parcel Viewer
Start from the Assessor’s Check Your Assessment page.
Agree to the terms and choose GIS Parcel Viewer, or open the current GeoSync parcel viewer.
Search the physical location.
GIS is especially useful for vacant land, rural property, adjoining tracts or an address that does not return a clear text-search result.
Click the subject parcel.
Compare map information with the assessment number, owner and property description.
Inspect neighboring assessments.
A single development site may involve several separately assessed parcels.
Return to Assessment Text Search.
Use the map to identify the assessment, then review values, exemptions and tax details in the Assessor record.
Use Clerk records for legal boundaries.
A parcel viewer is a research aid. Recorded maps, land surveys and professional surveying control legal-boundary questions.
Search-tool improvement: The Assessor’s older instructions noted that its GIS conversion was being expanded parcel by parcel. The current official assessment search now routes map users to the newer GeoSync viewer.
How St. Tammany Fair Market Value Becomes Assessed Value
Land — 10%
Ordinary taxable land is generally assessed at 10% of fair market value.
Residential improvements — 10%
Houses and other qualifying residential improvements are generally assessed at 10% of fair market value.
Commercial / other property — 15%
Commercial improvements and many other taxable property categories are generally assessed at 15%.
Public service property — 25%
Public service property excluding land is assessed at the constitutional 25% classification.
Residential example
A residence with $300,000 total qualifying residential market value would ordinarily correspond to approximately $30,000 assessed value before exemptions or special rules.
Commercial example
Land and a commercial building can use different percentages: land at 10% and the commercial improvement at 15%.
Use-value property
Bona fide agricultural, horticultural, marsh and timber land can qualify for assessment at 10% of statutory use value rather than ordinary market value.
Do not multiply every property by 10%: The correct assessment percentage depends on the property classification. Business movable property is generally assessed at 15%.

What Evidence Helps in a St. Tammany Assessment Review?
- 2026 assessment record
- Recent independent appraisal
- Licensed Realtor opinion of value
- Recent comparable sales
- Photographs of condition or damage
- Repair estimates
- Correct building measurements
- Recorded act of sale or survey
- Evidence of adverse property conditions
- Exemption or special-assessment documents
“My taxes are too high” is not enough: The Assessor explains that an assessment appeal concerns property valuation. Taxing authorities—not the Assessor—determine budgets and millage rates.
“I am requesting review of St. Tammany assessment number __________ for 2026. The Assessor record shows fair market value __________ and assessed value __________. My supported value or factual correction is __________ based on the attached appraisal, comparable sales, condition evidence and/or recorded documents.”
How the St. Tammany Homestead Exemption Works
Maximum ordinary exemption
Louisiana homestead exemption can remove up to $7,500 of assessed value from qualifying property.
Equivalent residential market value
Because qualifying residential property is generally assessed at 10%, $7,500 assessed value corresponds to the first $75,000 of qualifying value.
Primary residence only
The owner must own and occupy the home as the principal residence and cannot receive multiple homestead exemptions at the same time.
Apply after purchasing and occupying the home.
The Assessor recommends filing as soon as you purchase and establish the property as your primary residence.
Prepare identification.
Bring a Louisiana ID, active military ID or St. Tammany Parish voter registration reflecting the property address.
Prepare ownership proof.
Have a copy of the recorded cash sale, deed or other acceptable title-transfer document.
Remove an old exemption when necessary.
If a homestead was claimed elsewhere for the year, prepare evidence that the prior homestead was removed.
Apply in person or by Zoom.
The Assessor currently handles homestead and freeze applications through an office appointment or Zoom.
Verify it every August.
Do not assume the exemption is correct simply because it appeared on an older tax bill.
Appointment contact: Call 985-809-8180 or email Appointments@STPAO.org.
St. Tammany Senior and Disability Special Assessment Levels
Senior Freeze
A homeowner age 65 or older with a qualifying homestead can freeze the assessed value when all eligibility rules are met.
2026 income limit
Maximum qualifying adjusted gross income published by the Assessor is $102,700.
Annual adjustment
Beginning in 2026, the income qualification is adjusted annually using CPI.
Disability Freeze
Qualifying permanently totally disabled homeowners may receive the special assessment level when income and documentation requirements are met.
Veteran Disability Freeze
Certain homeowners with a VA service-connected disability rating of at least 50% may qualify subject to the freeze income test.
Taxes are not frozen
The special assessment freezes qualifying assessed value; tax bills can still change when millage changes.
Senior application documents: Prepare qualifying identification and the 2025 federal tax return showing combined adjusted gross income at or below the 2026 limit.
Disability renewal: The Assessor states that a qualifying homeowner receiving the disability special assessment level must reapply each year.
Disabled Veteran Property Benefits in St. Tammany Parish
50%–69% VA disability
Qualifying homeowners may receive an additional $25,000 special exemption above the ordinary homestead benefit.
70%–99% VA disability
Qualifying homeowners may receive an additional $45,000 special exemption above the ordinary homestead benefit.
100% disability or unemployability
A qualifying homeowner may receive full ad valorem relief subject to the municipality, parcel-fee and statutory exceptions described by the Assessor.
No income test for the tiered special exemption: The Assessor distinguishes the disabled-veteran Special Exemption from the Veteran Freeze. The special exemption itself does not use the freeze income limit.
Not every charge disappears: Parcel fees and other fees or fines can remain due. The Assessor also notes limitations involving municipal taxes and the ordinary homestead portion.
VA documentation: Applicants who are not already correctly coded with the Assessor should be prepared to provide a current VA award letter showing the home address and disability rating.
St. Tammany Business Personal Property Records and 2026 Filing Rules
What must be reported?
Inventory, merchandise, furniture, fixtures, machinery, equipment, leasehold improvements and leased equipment can be taxable business personal property.
Annual LAT-5
Businesses report personal property each year using the Louisiana LAT-5 Personal Property Report.
2026 due date
LAT-5 forms are due April 1 or within 45 days after receipt when that statutory later date applies.
Assessment classification
Business movable property is generally assessed at 15% of applicable market or depreciated value.
Late-file consequences
The Assessor warns that an untimely report can increase assessed value and can impair appeal rights or create statutory tax penalties.
Closed business
Submit the Assessor’s Affidavit of Personal Property Status instead of assuming closure with another state or local agency removes the assessment.
August 2026 position: The ordinary April 1 LAT-5 deadline has passed. A business with an unfiled or incorrect return should use the Assessor’s late/amended process promptly.
Online filing: The Assessor now supports LAT-5 filing through Just Appraised for eligible non-leasing companies. The PIN printed on the mailed LAT-5 is required.
How the St. Tammany 50% Tax Phase-In Works in 2026
2024 — 25%
First year of the additional qualifying tax liability produced by a large reassessment increase.
2025 — 50%
Second step of the four-year phase-in.
2026 — 75%
Third step for a qualifying property that remains eligible for the phase-in.
2027 — 100%
Full additional tax liability is reached before the next quadrennial cycle.
Who can qualify? The constitutional phase-in applies when a homestead-exempt residential property’s total assessed value increased by more than 50% during a quadrennial reassessment.
The Assessor roll does not show a reduced assessment: The Assessor explains that 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027 total assessed values remain listed at the reassessed level. The Sheriff/Tax Collector administers the phase-in of the additional tax liability.
Important exclusions: The phase-in does not apply to increases attributable to new construction or to property that was incorrectly assessed or omitted and later corrected. The phase-in also terminates when the property is sold.
How to Search St. Tammany Parish Property Tax Records
Verify the new assessment number first.
Use the Assessor search and copy the current assessment number.
Open the official property-tax system.
Go to the St. Tammany Sheriff Property Tax Search.
Select the correct tax year.
Do not confuse a prior delinquent tax account with the upcoming 2026 tax roll.
Use the portal’s Search button.
The payment site specifically instructs users to select Search rather than relying on the device’s Enter key.
Review payment status.
Online payments can be processed immediately but may take up to five business days to appear in the displayed record.
Request a tax research certificate when legal proof is required.
An online account screen is not a substitute for the formal certificate used for an act of sale, refinancing or other legal requirement.
Typical billing time
The Assessor’s 2026 closing guidance says the Sheriff generally mails property tax bills in November.
Ordinary payment deadline
Payments are generally considered timely through December 31, with next-business-day treatment when the deadline falls on a weekend.
Delinquency
Interest begins accruing after the timely-payment period, and additional costs can apply as collection progresses.
Prior delinquent-tax warning as of August 7, 2026: The Sheriff’s current tax portal states that online payments for the prior delinquent collection cycle stopped July 1, 2026 and the tax lien auction was scheduled for July 29, 2026. Both dates have passed. Call the Tax Collector at 985-809-8217 before attempting to resolve an older delinquent account.
Electronic fees during the regular payment window: The current portal lists no fee for checking/savings payments and a 2.5% convenience fee for debit or credit cards, with a $1 minimum. Recheck the live checkout screen because payment availability and fees can change by collection stage.
Owner-of-record timing: The Assessor’s 2026 closing guide says the certified tax roll lists the owner of record as of July 4, and the tax bill address generally comes from the appearance clause in the recorded act of sale.
“I need the current property-tax status for St. Tammany assessment number __________ and tax year __________. Please confirm the unpaid amount, interest or collection costs, tax-sale status and whether I need a tax research certificate.”
How to Search St. Tammany Acts of Sale, Mortgages and Liens
Start with the Clerk of Court Land Records Department.
It maintains the parish Mortgage and Conveyance records.
Open the new Cott Record Hub.
The Clerk’s new St. Tammany land-record portal went live July 27, 2026.
Search the current and prior owner.
Property records can be indexed under an individual, spouse, trust, succession, company, lender or other party.
Review both conveyance and mortgage records.
Ownership documents and encumbrance records are maintained in separate record categories.
Follow document references.
Search related acts of sale, mortgages, cancellations, judgments of possession, property settlements, liens, maps and surveys.
Order a certified copy or certificate when necessary.
Do not treat an ordinary online image as the equivalent of an official certified document.
Conveyance data
The legacy online collection includes conveyance-book data from July 1, 1961 forward.
Mortgage data
Mortgage-book data in the legacy system also extends from July 1, 1961 forward.
Historical maps
Clerk map data and images extend back to 1810.
New portal subscriptions: The Clerk currently lists Cott Record Hub access at $25 for daily access and $50 for 30 days.
Legacy transition: Existing users may continue accessing the old land-record system through December 31, 2026. New legacy registrations and additional funding were disabled in July as the Clerk transitioned to Cott.
Recent recording caution: The Clerk posts “cleared through,” indexing and filing dates. Documents newer than the cleared date may not yet have completed accuracy review and should not be relied upon as final indexed information.

St. Tammany Property Search Problems and Practical Fixes
| Problem | Practical fix | Correct office |
|---|---|---|
| Address search returns nothing | Try Street/St., Road/Rd., Highway/Hwy. variations or remove the suffix entirely. | Assessor |
| Owner search is too broad | Search the assessment number or property description instead. | Assessor |
| Parcel difficult to identify | Use GeoSync GIS by physical location and compare adjoining assessments. | Assessor GIS |
| Owner name appears outdated | Verify the latest act of sale or judgment of possession through Clerk land records. | Clerk, then Assessor |
| Homestead missing | Prepare Louisiana ID or voter registration plus recorded deed and contact the Assessor. | Assessor |
| Value seems too high | Prepare appraisal, sales, condition and factual evidence before August 31. | Assessor / Board of Review |
| Tax amount seems too high | Separate assessed value from millage and review “Show Tax Detail.” | Assessor for value; taxing body for millage |
| Tax payment not displayed | Allow up to five business days and retain payment confirmation. | Sheriff / Tax Collector |
| Need proof taxes are paid | Request a tax research certificate instead of relying on the website screen. | Sheriff / Tax Collector |
| Cannot find deed or mortgage | Search current and prior names in both Conveyance and Mortgage records. | Clerk of Court |
| Recent deed is missing or misspelled | Check the Clerk’s current cleared/indexing date because recent filings may still be processing. | Clerk Recording |
| Need a legal title opinion | Use a Louisiana title attorney, not only Assessor or Clerk search results. | Private legal/title professional |
“I am researching St. Tammany assessment number __________ for 2026. The Assessor, tax or land record shows __________, but my deed, appraisal, survey, exemption record or payment confirmation shows __________. Please confirm the office and form needed to correct or review the issue.”
