You can exempt more of your home’s assessed value from property tax if you have a service-connected disability. A rating of 100 percent, individual unemployability, or totally disabled exempts the home from all property taxes. A rating of 70 to 99 percent adds an exemption of $4,500 of assessed value, and a rating of 50 to 69 percent adds $2,500. These come on top of the standard homestead exemption on the first $7,500 of assessed value that Louisiana homeowners get, and local municipal taxes may still apply.
Get an updated Form A25 from a Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs parish service office first, then apply with your parish tax assessor. This is a parish-level filing, not a state one.
An updated LDVA Form A25, your VA rating documentation, and proof that you own the home and live in it.
