Informational notice
Figures describe the median homeowner household in Grant Parish as reported to the Census Bureau; your parcel can differ. Not tax, legal, or financial advice: check the county assessor or a qualified professional before decisions that depend on these numbers.
The rate held while the market moved
Grant Parish sits in the quarter of U.S. counties whose effective rate moved least over this span: 2.1% down, against a median home value that rose 16.9%.
A near-steady rate on a moving market passes that movement straight through: the median bill rose 14.5%, from $753 to $862.
Effective rate is the published median bill divided by the published median home value, so the two multiply back to the bill exactly; the rate's movement here is derived from those two figures rather than read from the rounded published rate. Both are ACS 5-year survey estimates for the median owner-occupied household, compared across non-overlapping releases. They describe what the Census published, not a local policy, assessment, or exemption change.
How to read this county's bill
Bills rose across 2020-2024, from $753 to $862, a gain of 14%. This is a comparison of published ACS medians, not an explanation of a particular property's assessment or tax bill.
The largest single group of owner-occupied homes in this county reports no real estate tax at all: 2,766 of 5,909 homes (46.8%). When that group leads, the county median does not describe the most common reported amount.
Both figures cluster near the middle of the national range, and the median bill comes to 1.3% of median household income. Counties like this are the reason a national average exists at all, and also the reason it explains so little.
The share above is the median annual bill divided by median household income, a ratio of two county-level medians rather than a household-by-household figure.
What Grant Parish Homeowners Actually Pay
Most Grant Parish homeowners are not billed at all: 2,766 of 5,909 owner-occupied homes (46.8%) report no real estate tax. A median bill describes only the minority who pay one.
- Less than $800 25.3% (1,497)
- $800 to $1,499 10.1% (597)
- $1,500 to $1,999 5.0% (296)
- $2,000 to $2,999 10.3% (609)
- $3,000 or more 2.4% (144)
Census ACS 2024, table B25102. Bands and the no-tax share sum to 100%.
2,766 homes here (46.8%) report no real estate tax at all, an unusually large share, high enough that the median bill above describes a minority of Grant Parish homeowners. Exemptions are set by state: how Louisiana handles assessments and appeals.
With vs Without Mortgage
Mortgaged homeowners in Grant Parish pay more than double the bill of those without one (+97%), the widest kind of value gap this dataset tracks.

Same rate as Louisiana, a smaller bill
The effective rate here sits within 9% of the Louisiana median, yet the median bill runs 27% below it. When the rate matches and the cheque does not, the difference is in what is being taxed, not how heavily: the same percentage applied to cheaper housing produces $862 here. That is why comparing counties on rate alone can invert the answer a homeowner actually cares about.

Each row is a separate ACS 5-year release, and consecutive releases share four of their five survey years. The percentage beside each bill is therefore movement in the published estimate against the previous release, not a single year's tax change. The two releases largely describe the same households. For change over time, compare releases that do not overlap.
