House Bill No. by Representative Deshotel amends R.S. 47:1836 and enacts R.S. 47:2058.1, focusing on the responsibilities of parish tax assessors and collectors regarding ad valorem taxes. The bill mandates that these officials report specific assessment and collection data to the Louisiana Tax Commission. The commission is then required to include this data in its reports to the governor and the legislature, ensuring transparency and accountability in property tax assessments and collections.

Key provisions of the bill include the requirement for parish assessors to submit annual reports detailing the total assessed value of property, the amount of ad valorem taxes assessed and collected, and a breakdown by property classification. Additionally, the Louisiana Tax Commission must incorporate this information into its existing reports, enhancing the understanding of tax assessments and collections across parishes. The bill also prohibits the use of data from automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast systems for calculating ad valorem taxes, ensuring that tax assessments are based on accurate and legitimate sources.
