A mill is one-tenth of a cent, or $1 in taxes for every $1,000 of assessed value. For 2025, St. Charles Parish had a total Taxable Assessed Value of $2,567,923,345. That means 1 mill generates approximately $2,567,923 in property taxes parishwide.
So when millage rates are discussed at public meetings, this helps show the real-world impact:
⢠½ mill ā $1.28 million
⢠2 mills ā $5.13 million
⢠5 mills ā $12.84 million
Millage rates are set by individual taxing bodies (Parish Government, School Board, Sheriff, etc.), not by the assessorās office. Our role is to determine fair market value and maintain the tax roll, the official list of all taxable property.
