Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre announced 2025  property taxes can now be viewed and paid online at www.LPSO.net/PayMyTaxes. Online payments can be made by debit/credit card, PayPal, Venmo, and e-check. All tax payments are due by December 31, 2025, and delinquent taxes accrue interest of 1% per month until paid per state law, plus the cost for delinquent collections. These taxes help fund all aspects of public service in the parish such as roads, drainage, levees, law enforcement, fire departments, hospitals, ambulance services, schools, and recreation.

A printed version of your tax notice will be mailed out soon. A QR code is printed on the notice, which can be scanned to pay taxes directly on your smartphone. Alternatively, payments can be mailed using the envelope provided with the tax notice received in the mail. These envelopes cannot be used after December 31, 2025, or payment will be delayed and penalties will apply. Payment can also be made by bringing your tax notice and a check, money order or cash to the LPSO Administrative Office (104-A Canal Boulevard, Thibodaux), the LPSO Criminal Operations Center (805 Crescent Avenue, Lockport) and the South Lafourche Substation (102 West 91st Street, Cut Off). Taxes can be paid at those offices from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily, but offices are closed on weekends and holidays. Payments can also be made over the phone by calling (985) 449-4430, and selecting option 1 for the payment center. For those using online bill pay through a bank, please make payments to Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office, P.O. Box 5608, Thibodaux, LA 70302. Please note that payments made online and via the enclosed envelope (before December 31) are the easiest and most convenient ways to pay.

For those unable to pay in full by the end of this year, partial payments can be made at our office or by mailing directly to the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office, P.O. Box 5608, Thibodaux, LA 70302, instead of using the envelope provided. Each partial payment must be at least 25% of the total amount of property tax due, and the first partial payment must be made by December 31, 2025. The remaining unpaid amount is still subject to the 1% monthly penalty and must be paid in full by March 13, 2026.

Property owners who do not receive a tax statement in the mail are still responsible for paying their taxes. In some cases, tax bills may be sent to the previous property owner or might be lost in the mail. Additionally, anyone with a mortgage should check with their mortgage company before submitting payment as property taxes are sometimes paid through escrow.

Any unpaid property taxes are subject to tax sale, along with additional fees and penalties. For more information on this and other details about your tax notice, go to www.LPSO.net/PayMyTaxes and search “last name, first name.”  Questions regarding the amount owed, property assessment or property ownership should be directed to the Lafourche Parish Assessor’s Office at (985) 447-7242. Questions about charges pertaining to property abatement liens should be directed to Lafourche Parish Government by calling (985) 532-6229 or, for those in the Town of Golden Meadow, please call (985) 475-5212.
