Did you know the Lafayette Parish Assessor’s Office offers a Special Assessment Program that can help protect seniors from rising property taxes?

✅ If you qualify, the assessed value of your home is frozen at its value on January 1 of the year you turn 65
✅ That means future increases in home value won’t increase your property taxes
✅ It’s designed to help seniors stay in their homes with more financial peace of mind

If you or a loved one are age 65 or older, this program could make a real difference.
