Proposed Amendment No. 2 · Legislatively referred constitutional amendment

Local property tax millage rates

Official ballot title (quoted exactly)

Do you support an amendment to allow a local taxing authority to continue to levy a lower millage rate without losing its ability to adjust to the maximum authorized millage rate from a prior year's reassessment? (Effective January 1, 2027) (Amends Article VII, Section 23(C))

Ballot proposition as printed in the Louisiana Secretary of State’s list of 2026 proposed constitutional amendments.

A YES vote means:

A local taxing authority that levies less than its maximum millage rate could keep the ability to later raise it back up to the maximum authorized rate from a prior year’s reassessment.

A NO vote means:

The constitution would not change.

What it would change

  • Who is affected: local taxing authorities and property owners.
  • Process: under the constitution, such increases require a two-thirds vote of the taxing authority after a public hearing with published notice.
  • Fiscal impact: No official fiscal impact statement is included with the ballot proposition in the Secretary of State’s list of proposed amendments.
