New Orleans, LA, October 1, 2026 — New Orleans has introduced a new online tool designed to assist property owners in estimating potential changes to their property taxes in 2027.

The calculator allows residents to explore the anticipated financial implications of various millage rate scenarios that are currently under consideration by the City Council. This initiative aims to provide transparency and empower property owners with information regarding potential shifts in their tax obligations.

The tool enables users to input details to forecast both monthly and annual impacts based on different millage rate adjustments. Millage rates are a primary factor in determining property tax amounts, and their modification can significantly affect the overall tax burden on property owners.

By offering this digital resource, the city is providing a mechanism for property owners to proactively understand how proposed changes might affect their individual financial situations. The City Council is evaluating several millage rate scenarios, and the calculator serves as a responsive measure to inform the public about these potential fiscal adjustments.

Specific details regarding the exact millage rate scenarios being considered, the precise methodology of the calculator, or the timeline for the City Council’s final decisions were not immediately available. The calculator is now accessible to property owners seeking to model potential tax impacts.
