Fair market value is determined by the Rapides Parish Assessor’s Office. Taxes due is computed by multiplying the assessed value by the tax rate
Example 1
Home with a land value of $25,000 and a building value of $75,000
Compute assessed value:
- Land – 10% of $25,000 = $2,500
- Building – 10% of $75,000 = $7,500
- Assessed Value = $10,000
Compute Property Tax: $10,000 * 0.02454 = $245.40 taxes due
Example 2
Commercial location with a land value of $25,000 and a building value of $75,000

- Building – 15% of $75,000 = $11,250
- Assessed Value = $13,7500
Compute Property Tax: $13,750 * 0.02454 = $337.43 taxes due
