Are Property Taxes Deductible in Louisiana?
Short answer: Yes on your federal return if you itemize, within the $40,400 SALT cap. Louisiana adds its own break: Special assessment level freezes the assessed value for owners 65+ or disabled with AGI up to $102,700 (2026 applications).
Homestead: $75,000 homestead exemption ($7,500 of assessed value) on an owner-occupied primary home. Louisiana homes are assessed at 10% of market value, so the $7,500 exemption covers the first $75,000 of value.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
