NOLA residents won't pay higher property taxes to the city, after all.

The city budget that was adopted, cut some millages. The end result is that the city budget won't get any new monies solely from the reassessment.
Interestingly enough, they allowed some millages to roll forward, some rolled back, and some were reduced even below the roll back level.
Now, this is just city government budget. Doesn't include school board, OPSO, levee districts, etc.
Of course the budget will still rise like it always does. But it won't get that big jump just because of the reassessment.

They already stood up as a group to say they NEED that money.

There was another article yesterday discussing the property tax situation. The school board voted to roll forward the millage, so many will see an increase unless their assessment was low.

Maybe our new legislature can take a lesson from the NOLA city council. You CAN tell the chief executive "no".

Yesterday the School Board voted unanimously to roll forward the millages dedicated to public education in Orleans Parish. It will increase funding by an average of $325 per student per year.

It will still get a jump because of reassessments and the new tax on short term rentals

If they want to increase tax revenue they need to impose property taxes on the Universities and properties that are tax exempt.

Why does state constitution treat Orleans parish differently with amount of property taxes governing bodies can authorize before needing voter approval?
quote:
First: Each parish school board, Orleans Parish excepted, and each municipality or city school board actually operating, maintaining, or supporting a separate system of public schools, shall levy annually an ad valorem maintenance tax not to exceed five mills on the dollar of assessed valuation on property subject to such taxation within the parish or city, respectively.
Second: The Orleans Parish School Board shall levy annually a tax not to exceed thirteen mills on the dollar of the assessed valuation of property within the city of New Orleans assessed for city taxation, and shall certify the amount of the tax to the governing authority of the city. The governing authority shall have the tax entered on city tax rolls. The tax shall be collected in the manner, under the conditions, and with the interest and penalties prescribed by law for city taxes. The money thus collected shall be paid daily to the Orleans Parish School Board.
Third: For giving additional support to public elementary and secondary schools, any parish, school district, or subschool district, or any municipality or city school board which supports a separate city system of public schools may levy an ad valorem tax for a specific purpose, when authorized by a majority of the electors voting in the parish, municipality, district, or subdistrict in an election held for that purpose. The amount, duration, and purpose of the tax shall be in accord with any limitation imposed by the legislature.
quote:
§26. Parish Ad Valorem Tax
Section 26.(A) Parish Tax for General Purposes; Millage Limits; Increase. The governing authority of a parish may levy annually an ad valorem tax for general purposes not to exceed four mills on the dollar of assessed valuation. However, in Orleans Parish the limitation shall be seven mills, and in Jackson Parish the limitation shall be five mills. Millage rates may be increased in any parish when approved by a majority of the electors voting thereon in an election held for that purpose....
E) Additional Taxes for Orleans Parish. (1) In addition to any millage authorized by Paragraph (A) of this Section, the governing authority of Orleans Parish may levy annually an additional ad valorem tax for fire protection not to exceed ten mills on the dollar of assessed valuation and an additional ad valorem tax for police protection not to exceed ten mills on the dollar of assessed valuation.

Look in the constitution, you will find all sorts of these things that only deal with one parish or another. It's insane.

I guess it was some kind of compromise between NO and rest of the state back then, but it needs some updating. Constitution provisions should grant the same authority and/or include the same limitations on all equal govt bodies across state. Amendment process should then be more about changing something that effects entire state not making more exceptions that are treated differently than rest of state like with municipal school district creations. First amendment to add a municipal school district out of a parish district should have amended this for entire state instead of creating another exception. Set up restrictions to avoid free for all’s, but don’t have a constitutional process each & every time to change something in only one parish.

Just this past fall, there was an amendment on the ballot to allow Orleans Parish only to exempt, from property tax, certain real property that was used for "affordable housing".
