The Louisiana State Legislature referred six constitutional amendments to the 2026 ballot during the final week of the 2025 legislative session. Among them is an amendment that would raise the income limit to qualify for the property tax special assessment level from $100,000 to $150,000, providing property tax relief to more middle-income homeowners.
Louisiana's slate of six amendments represents one of the larger packages of referred measures in the 2026 cycle.
Expanding property tax relief to more homeowners supports families and homeownership. Tax policy should support those who are building stable communities.
"But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel."
