Every year around December homeowners usually get a letter (or two) in the mail regarding your city/parish property tax bill. If you're one of the many who escrow their property taxes, you can usually ignore it (but just seeing it might stress you out for a second). Others who don't escrow will now have that bill to deal with right before filing your income taxes which is another story altogether.

Statewide, the median property tax bill across all 64 parishes is $732.
