St. Tammany Parish
Welcome to BGR’s Property Tax Dashboards! BGR recently updated these dashboards with the latest property tax rates for Orleans, Jefferson, and St. Tammany parishes, as many homeowners across the region review their property tax bills.
Read the media release for a summary of what’s changed, including where rates fell, where they rose slightly, and why.
The dashboards use interactive charts and tables to break down property tax bills and show where this key local government revenue goes, based on decisions by voters and policymakers.
To view a dashboard, select a parish above and then click on a taxing area map, such as Algiers, River Ridge or City of Mandeville. The dashboard for that area will display in a new tab in your browser. The dashboards are best viewed on a desktop screen, but you can also view them on a mobile device.
Click below to watch a video tutorial on how to get the most out of using the dashboards. They offer key information for understanding:
- The most recent total millage rate for your area.
- Where your taxes go and who controls them. Four interactive charts analyze taxes by purpose (such as public schools), taxing body (such as school board), individual millage detail, and expiration date.
- Estimated tax bills for a wide range of home values.
- Links to available BGR reports on specific taxes.
- A 10-year history of the total millage rate for your taxing area.
- Historical trends in your property taxes by purpose and taxing body. These interactive charts show how local governments have adjusted their property taxes over time.

Dashboard Data Sources and Notes
The dashboards are current as of January 7, 2026, so they reflect the rates on the 2025 tax bills in Jefferson and St. Tammany and the 2026 tax bills in Orleans. BGR will update the dashboards around the time taxes are billed each year.
BGR’s dashboards present data collected from various sources:
- Annual maximum millage reports from the Louisiana Legislative Auditor’s office
- Annual reports from the Louisiana Tax Commission
- Tax rate data provided by the offices of the Jefferson, Orleans and St. Tammany parish assessors
- Comprehensive annual financial reports of taxing authorities
- Annual property tax books from Jefferson Parish government
- Property tax ballot propositions
- Millage rate resolutions adopted by taxing bodies
Flat fees that appear in some tax bills, such as those for neighborhood security districts or garbage collection, are not included in the dashboards.
In a few cases, a dashboard splits a single tax into multiple components because the tax’s dedication specifically allocates portions to different purposes, e.g. half for street maintenance and half for public parks.
BGR’s dashboards are for informational purposes only. They are not part of any official tax bills or assessment records that determine tax liability. BGR is an independent, private, nonprofit organization. It is not affiliated with any taxing body or parish property assessor.
While the dashboards can reveal differences in how property taxes are levied and used across the three parishes, they do not present a complete picture of local government funding. Therefore, they should not be used to compare revenue allocations for local governmental functions, such as police or schools. Orleans, Jefferson and St. Tammany parishes rely on different revenue sources, including property taxes, sales taxes, user fees, and federal and state grants, to pay for similar services. For example, public schools in Jefferson Parish rely more on sales tax revenue and less on property tax revenue than New Orleans’ public schools. And unlike most Jefferson residents, New Orleans residents do not pay any property taxes to fund their water and sewer systems and garbage collection. However, they pay higher fees for water and sewer usage and trash pick-up.
