HB 1010 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

TAX/AD VALOREM TAX: Requires annual reporting on amounts of ad valorem taxes collected in each parish (EN INCREASE GF EX See Note)

This bill requires Louisiana parish tax collectors to submit annual reports to the state Tax Commission detailing ad valorem tax collections for the previous year. The reports must list the actual tax amounts collected on all taxable property within each parish, broken down by property categories. The Tax Commission will then include this data in its regular reports, providing total collection amounts by parish for each property type. This change affects parish tax collectors who must file the reports by January 31 and the Tax Commission which will incorporate the data into its existing reporting. The bill aims to improve transparency in how property taxes are collected across Louisiana parishes.
