Assessor

Welcome to our website! The website is always available and continually updated. It is provided as a service to our community and the public to assist in obtaining information about Morehouse Parish real estate and business personal property. The site is an extension of our office. You can obtain reporting forms and answers to many questions here! You may always call our office to help you navigate this site or answer any questions you may have regarding our records.

The assessor’s office is required by the Louisiana State Constitution to locate, identify and value each parcel in Morehouse Parish. Our trained and certified staff work diligently to meet these requirements. We are required to value all REAL property (land and buildings) and PERSONAL BUSINESS ASSETS (machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, inventory and all oil and gas properties) for ad valorem tax purposes.

If we can assist you in any way or have questions regarding this site or information located here, please feel free to contact your assessor’s office.

It is always a pleasure to serve you!

Assessor Responsibilities

The Morehouse Parish Assessor is responsible for discovery, listing, and valuing all property in Morehouse Parish for ad valorem tax purposes. This property includes all Real Estate, all Business Movable Property (Personal Property), and all Oil & Gas Property and Equipment. The Assessor is responsible to the citizens of Morehouse Parish for ensuring all property is assessed in a fair and equitable manner. At the same time, the Assessor is responsible for ensuring that assessments are calculated according to the Constitution of the State of Louisiana and the Revised Statutes that are passed by the Legislature. In Louisiana, “Ad Valorem”, by value, is the method to calculate taxes. The Assessor does not establish the “taxes”. Taxes are approved by the voters in the form of millage propositions on the ballot.
