Orleans Property Tax Relief
Assessor Errol Williams: "While all residential property owners will automatically receive a five percent reduction due to properties being non-operational for weeks following the storm’s landfall, those with additional physical damages, as well as commercial properties, are encouraged to submit documentation of Hurricane Ida damages."
The Hurricane Ida Damage form can be filled out and downloaded at www.nolaassessor.com beginning Sept. 23. Submissions must include documentation to support a damage claim, such as photographs, contractor estimates of repair, inspection report, damage appraisal, or a copy of an insurance claim.
Property owners may submit a completed Hurricane Ida Damage form by:
- Attaching it to an online appeal that can be submitted online. The appeal link will be on the homepage at www.nolaassessor.com.
- Scheduling a virtual, telephonic, or in-person meeting with a staff member at www.nolaassessor.com or by calling (504) 754-8811. Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Assessor Williams encourages property owners meet with staff by zoom or phone if possible.
- By mailing the completed form and supporting documentation to: Orleans Parish Assessor’s Office, PO Box 53406, New Orleans, LA 70153.
