Suit Seeks Class Action over Homestead Exemption

The Times-Picayune reports that several Orleans parish residents have filed lawsuit after they were denied their homestead exemption for this year by the Louisiana Tax Commission. Because Orleans Parish assesses taxes at the beginning of the year, a new law passed by the legislature has apparently resulted in larger tax bills for hundreds of people who purchased a home in New Orleans after August 1, 2004.
