What happened

After a public hearing on September 1, 2026, the board voted 8-0 to adopt adjusted millage rates after reassessment and "roll forward" to the highest rates allowed by law, without a new public vote.

Why it matters to families

Rolling forward lets the district collect more property tax than the adjusted rate would. It affects homeowners and businesses across the parish.

The evidence

September 1, 2026 minutes record the hearing and the roll-call resolution.
