Property taxes in Terrebonne and Lafourche are due by the end of the year
It’s property tax time again for Terrebonne and Lafourche.
Terrebonne and Lafourche parish property owners received annual tax notices through each parish s sheriff’s office. Property taxes are due by Dec. 31. Late fees will begin at a rate of 1 percent per month after Jan. 1.
Taxes can be paid online, by mail or in person.
Because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, officials are urging residents to make their payments online or by mail.
“Lobby space is extremely limited, and because of this, practicing safe social distancing while paying taxes in person may be difficult,” the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office said. “Also, please be aware that beginning this year, local bank branches are no longer accepting payments. Traditionally, several local bank branches accepted in-person payments through Dec. 31, but that service is no longer available.”

Seat Belt Webinar For Young Drivers
Two coalitions are teaming up to offer a webinar next week aimed at helping young drivers understand the imperative nature of wearing a seat belt.
This effort is part of the bigger programs from the state of Louisiana called The Louisiana Strategic Highway Safety Program Destination Zero Death. Based on the information compiled by local, state and federal officials, the research shows that teenagers are less likely to wear their seat belts than adults.
The Acadiana Regional Transportation Safety Coalition and the South Central Regional Safety Coalition work each day to try to change the statistics.
