Property Tax Alert: Louisiana

November 2006

Louisiana property tax assessors and parish governing authorities may hire private counsel to represent them in proceedings instituted by a taxpayer pursuant to Secs. 47:1989 or 47:1998, LA R.S., on a reasonable contingency fee basis. However, the assessors may not obligate or encumber funds to which they are not legally entitled. Only the entities or officials to whom the additional revenues are to be paid may obligate or encumber such funds.
