I like the St Tammany Parish Assessor's Website. I have found over the years it is user friendly, and fast. I am always able to find the information I am looking for in a timely manner.
There are several specific things you can look for / find on the St Tammany Parish Assessor's Property Value Search.
- Taxes - What was last years tax bill?
- Property Address and/or Legal Description - Used when researching real estate, and many times used in conjunction. For example, a legal is all you have and you are looking to contact the owner of some vacant land. Or there is simply no mailbox in front of a home in a rural area.
- Owner's name and current address - Simple contact information. Sometimes the right piece of land is not listed for sale. Send the current owner a letter, ask if they want to sell.
- Instrument number - Allows for tracking when researching. I use when researching titles on tax sale properties.
I want to make sure I include a link to the St Tammany Parish Tax Assessor's Property Tax Calculation Page. Through which you can calculate your tax bill using your properties Fair Market Value according to your latest assessment.
As well. The St Tammany Assessor has available an Excel Spreadsheet Download Tax-Calculation Excel which will calculate your bill for you. Just punch in the value, and you are good to go. (if you have trouble viewing this document, please visit: Download.com / Free Excel Viewer and the Excel Viewer program from Microsoft should do the trick.
Last, and by no means least. The current Homestead Exemption Application is available through the St Tammany Parish Assessor's Website. Download St Tammany Parish Homestead Exemption Form. If you own a home in St Tammany Parish and it is considered your primary residence, then you are entitled to file for Homestead Exemption. Currently you can a receive a benefit of $75,000.00.
Well, that what I got for right now. Hope you enjoy and get some good use.
Thank You
