AI Summary

  • Removes the $100,000 adjusted gross income limitation for homeowners age 65 or older seeking the special assessment level, which freezes property assessments for residential property receiving the homestead exemption

  • Currently, all applicants for the special assessment level are prohibited from receiving it if their adjusted gross income exceeds $100,000 (adjusted annually by CPI); this amendment exempts seniors from that income test

  • The special assessment level freezes property tax assessments at the value from the first year the owner qualifies, preventing increases as long as they remain eligible

  • Requires approval by Louisiana voters at the November 3, 2026 statewide election as a constitutional amendment

  • Effective January 1, 2027, applying to all taxable years beginning on or after that date
