Local Parish Taxes Show Wide Variations Across Louisiana
An analysis of parish wide and part parish taxes in Louisiana notes that average local tax rates rose from 15.99 per 1000 in 1926 to 22.61 in 1930 while state taxes grew only 15 percent. Parish rates ranged 8 to 33 per 1000 in 1920 and 10 to 48 in 1930 with wide disparities across 1600 taxing areas. The piece argues for consolidating taxation or centralized control to reduce waste and spur savings, citing Virginia and Indiana examples and quoting ex Governor Alfred E. Smith on county consolidation.
