The parish's own effective property tax rate ran approximately 0.81% -- genuinely ABOVE Louisiana's statewide average of approximately 0.55%, a real, disclosed exception to the low-property-tax pattern documented at Central, Zachary, and Marrero elsewhere in this Louisiana Tier A wave.
Louisiana's real $75,000 homestead exemption
Louisiana exempts the first $75,000 of a primary residence's fair market value from parish/local property tax (though NOT from certain special millages), meaningfully softening even Iberia Parish's above-average rate.
A real, current flat 3% state income tax
Louisiana's 2024 reform (effective January 1, 2025) replaced the old 3-bracket graduated income tax with a FLAT 3% rate, offset by a real state sales-tax increase to 5% (combined ~10.1%).
