The Town of Urania traces its roots to the mid-1800s, when settlers from Mississippi and other parts of the South established homesteads in what was then known as Maxwell Springs, named for pioneer Wiley P. Maxwell and a large natural spring near the center of town.

Education has long been an important part of Urania’s story. Early schools served local families as the community grew, eventually leading to the construction of Urania High School in 1925. The school became a source of pride for generations of residents and remained in operation until 1950, when students joined neighboring communities at LaSalle High School.

Urania also earned statewide recognition for its basketball program. Despite being a small school, the Urania High teams competed at the highest levels, winning championships and even traveling to Chicago in 1925 to compete in a national tournament.

The town’s history is also marked by service and sacrifice. During World War II, more than 300 men and women from the Urania area served in the military, including several Urania High graduates who gave their lives in service to our nation.

From its beginnings as a frontier settlement to its legacy of education, athletics, and community spirit, Urania remains an important part of LaSalle Parish’s rich history.

Taxable assessed value is the portion of a property’s value that is used to calculate property taxes. Property is assessed at a percentage of its fair market value based on property type, and applicable exemptions, such as the Homestead Exemption, are then applied.

This chart shows the growth in total taxable assessed value in LaSalle Parish over the past five years.

You may notice a significant increase in 2024. That’s because 2024 was a statewide reassessment year, when all property values were reviewed and updated to reflect current market conditions. Residential reassessments occur every four years in Louisiana.

📊 LaSalle Parish Taxable Assessed Values (Parishwide):
2021: $89,827,990
2022: $95,166,260
2023: $100,646,150
2024: $128,710,340
2025: $129,520,644

Registering a Mobile Home in LaSalle Parish: What You Need to Know

If you need to register a mobile home with the LaSalle Parish Assessor’s Office, here are a few important things to keep in mind:

📌 Proof of Ownership
Documentation is required to show ownership of the mobile home. This may include a bill of sale, title, or act of sale.

📌 Provide the Location
You’ll need to give the exact location where the mobile home is placed, including the physical address and whether it sits on family land, leased property, or land you own.

📌 Homestead Exemption Eligibility

Working Together for Accurate Property Records: LaSalle Parish Clerk of Court & Assessor’s Office

When property changes hands in LaSalle Parish, the process begins at the Clerk of Court’s Office. As the official record keeper, the Clerk’s Office receives and files documents like deeds, ensuring they are properly recorded and available for public review.

From there, the information is shared with the Assessor’s Office. This step allows the assessor’s team to update ownership records, review any changes, and make adjustments to property assessments when necessary.

This ongoing coordination between the Clerk of Court and the Assessor’s Office plays an important role in maintaining an accurate and reliable tax roll. By working together, both offices help ensure property records remain clear, current, and accessible to the public.

Did you know?

The Town of Tullos traces its roots back to the late 1800s, when the Tullos family settled along Castor Creek in search of a quieter, more “frontier” way of life. What began as a small family settlement, complete with a log church that doubled as a school, would soon grow into a thriving community.

With the arrival of the railroad in 1892, the town was officially named Tullos, and industries such as timber and, later, oil helped shape its identity. The oil boom of the late 1920s brought rapid growth and a reputation for toughness that earned the town nicknames like “Tullos Toughs” and “Mudville.”

Through changing industries, wartime shifts, and decades of growth, Tullos has remained grounded in strong values of family, faith, and community.

Today, Tullos continues to be a close-knit town where history runs deep, and hometown pride remains strong.

This information was summarized from an article by Deborah Mayo published in The Jena Times. For more details, check out the comments. 👇
