Lafayette Parish Assessor Justin Centanni announces the annual Open Book Period will take place from August 18 through September 2, 2025.
During this time, property owners are encouraged to review their assessments and ask questions before values are finalized for the 2025 tax year.
The Open Book period is a vital part of the property assessment process, offering transparency and an opportunity for property owners to ensure their assessments are fair and accurate.
“The goal of the Assessor’s Office is to ensure all properties are assessed fairly according to Louisiana Law,” said Assessor Centanni. “Open Book is our chance to work directly with taxpayers, explain changes, and address questions or discrepancies before values are certified.”
