Assumption Parish — Parishwide Proposition No. 2 of 2 (Millage Extension and Rededication)

What it does

Shall the Parish of Assumption, State of Louisiana (the "Parish"), continue to levy a 2 mills tax (the "Tax") on all property subject to taxation in the Parish (an estimated $494,000 reasonably expected at this time to be collected from the levy of the Tax for an entire year), for a period of ten (10) years, beginning with the year 2028 and ending with the year 2037, and shall the proceeds of the Tax heretofore or hereafter received be used for the purposes as follows: (i) at least 25% for acquiring, constructing, improving, maintaining and operating library facilities, including the necessary equipment and furnishings therefor, and (ii) up to 75% for any lawful General Fund purpose of the Parish?

A YES vote means

Assumption Parish would continue a 2-mill property tax from 2028 through 2037, with at least 25% for library facilities and up to 75% for any lawful General Fund purpose.

A NO vote means

The parish would not continue the 2-mill property tax for 2028 through 2037 or change how its proceeds are used.

What it would cost

Up to 2 mills (estimated) for 10 years: $200 a year for every $100,000 of taxable value (a mill is $1 per $1,000). Louisiana assesses homes at 10% of market value, so that's about $20 per $100,000 of market value, before the homestead exemption. Taxable value is after exemptions such as homestead; your tax bill or property appraiser shows yours. It would continue a tax already in place rather than add a new one.

Needed to pass

A simple majority: more than half of the YES and NO votes on this measure must be YES. Leaving it blank doesn't count either way.

Left–right lean

Not a left–right issue: a procedural or local question that liberals and conservatives don't typically split on (AI read of the official ballot summary).

Background

The Assumption Parish Police Jury sought Louisiana State Bond Commission approval for two questions on this ballot; they were item L26-178 on the Commission's June 18, 2026 agenda. The other question would rededicate a 1% sales tax so that up to one-eighth a year could fund inmate needs at the parish detention center.

According to the proposition text, Proposition 2 would continue a 2-mill tax for 2028 through 2037, estimated at $494,000 a year.

The text would rededicate the money, including past collections: at least 25% for library facilities, equipment and furnishings, and up to 75% for any lawful General Fund purpose.

Put on the ballot by Assumption Parish Police Jury, 2026 (resolution date and vote not found online); State Bond Commission agenda June 18, 2026 (L26-178).
