Informational notice
Figures describe the median homeowner household in LaSalle 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.
Most of the market's rise reached the bill
The effective rate here moved 11.0% down between 2020 and 2024, a smaller shift than in 56% of U.S. counties. With the median home value rose 11.7%, the median bill fell 0.6% to $532: the rate did comparatively little to offset the market.
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
This is one of the counties where the typical bill came down, from $535 in 2020 to $532 in 2024, a fall of 1%. The source reports the change but does not distinguish among rate, value, or household-composition effects.
The largest single group of owner-occupied homes in this county reports no real estate tax at all: 1,933 of 4,067 homes (47.5%). When that group leads, the county median does not describe the most common reported amount.
Incomes run above the national midpoint and the rate is in the lowest quarter, leaving the median bill at 0.8% of median household income. Both figures move in the same direction here, so the ratio above is not pulled in two directions the way it is in most counties.
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.
The published bill went DOWN here
Between the 2020 and 2024 ACS releases the median annual property tax in LaSalle Parish fell from $535 to $532, a change of -0.6%. Fewer than three counties in a hundred recorded any decline over this period; nearly everywhere else the published figure rose. A fall can reflect reassessment, a shifting mix of the homes surveyed, or genuine rate relief, and these estimates cannot separate those causes.
What LaSalle Parish Homeowners Actually Pay
Most LaSalle Parish homeowners are not billed at all: 1,933 of 4,067 owner-occupied homes (47.5%) report no real estate tax. A median bill describes only the minority who pay one.
- Less than $800 31.4% (1,276)
- $800 to $1,499 13.0% (529)

- $2,000 to $2,999 4.6% (186)
- $3,000 or more 1.6% (67)
Census ACS 2024, table B25102. Bands and the no-tax share sum to 100%.
1,933 homes here (47.5%) report no real estate tax at all, an unusually large share, high enough that the median bill above describes a minority of LaSalle Parish homeowners. Exemptions are set by state: how Louisiana handles assessments and appeals.

Below Louisiana on both measures
LaSalle Parish's effective rate runs 18% under the Louisiana median and its bill 55% under. Both sitting on the same side means the gap is not a valuation artefact: a county can post a low rate purely because its homes are expensive, but then the bill rises to meet the state. Here it does not, so the $532 median bill reflects a genuinely lighter charge than the Louisiana norm rather than a different denominator. Compare it against the state page before reading anything into the county rank.

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.
