Plain English Breakdown

The candidate explanation included a prohibition on using ADS-B systems which is not directly related to the main purpose of reporting tax data and appears to be an unrelated clause in the bill text.

Ad Valorem Tax Reporting Act

This act requires parish tax assessors and collectors to report ad valorem property tax assessment and collection data annually to the Louisiana Tax Commission, which must include this information in its reports to the governor and legislature.

What This Bill Does

  • Requires parish tax assessors to submit a yearly report of ad valorem property taxes assessed within their parish by property classification.
  • Requires parish tax collectors to submit a yearly report of all ad valorem taxes collected for the previous year on taxable property in their parish.
  • Instructs the Louisiana Tax Commission to include this data in its annual reports to the governor and legislature.

Who It Names or Affects

  • Parish tax assessors
  • Parish tax collectors
  • Louisiana Tax Commission

Terms To Know

Ad Valorem Taxes
Taxes based on the value of a property or item.
Property Classification
Categories used to classify different types of properties for tax purposes, such as residential, commercial, industrial, and public service property.

Limits and Unknowns

  • The bill does not specify the consequences if parish assessors or collectors fail to submit their reports on time.
  • It is unclear how the Louisiana Tax Commission will use additional data beyond what is required by law in its annual report.
