Levied by the parish/local political subdivision where the property sits — millages are set locally. Residential property is assessed at 10% of fair market value; the homestead exemption covers $7,500 of assessed value ($75,000 of market value) and applies to non-municipal taxes (municipal taxes only in Orleans Parish). Qualifying homeowners 65+ or disabled can freeze their assessed value; the Louisiana Tax Commission oversees assessments. Varies by parish.

TexasInfo
Texas levies no state property tax - the Comptroller neither collects property tax nor sets rates. Property is appraised by local appraisal districts and taxed by local units (school districts, counties, cities, special districts), which set the rates. Questions go to your local appraisal district or tax assessor-collector.
