HURRICANE IDA

Impacts On Lafourche Parish And Property Assessments

On August 29, 2021, Hurricane Ida made landfall at Port Fourchon and became the second-most damaging and intense hurricane to ever make landfall in Louisiana.

Your Lafourche Parish Assessor’s Office first made contact with our staff to ensure their safety and then immediately started the assessment of damaged properties within the parish.

Within seven days, we gathered aerial imagery of the entire parish to allow our team to identify damages sustained on residential and commercial properties.

Assessor Thibodeaux also imposed reductions on all property tax bills to allow residents the ability to recover with less worry on their owed taxes.

Our parish is resilient and we continue to move forward with rebuilding. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your tax bill, we always invite you to call or visit one of our offices across Lafourche Parish

In 2021 — residents received tax bills reflective of up to a 50% reduction based on damage in their area.

In 2022 — 2022 tax bills were updated to reflect the 2020 values on improvements before Ida.
