PART II. PAYMENT AND COLLECTION

§2126. Duty of assessors; single assessment; exception

Each assessor shall deliver to the appropriate tax collector the tax roll for the year in which taxes are collectible by November fifteenth of each calendar year, except as otherwise provided by law. At the same time, the assessor shall deliver the tax roll to the recorder of mortgages for the parish in which property subject to the taxes is located. The assessor shall use reasonable efforts to list on the tax roll all co-owners of record of the property. The tax roll shall be updated as of January first or later of the year in which the taxes are collectible.

There shall be only one assessment for each tax parcel, and the full assessment shall be on each tax bill sent pursuant to R.S. 47:2127 (D); however, if requested by a tax debtor, the assessor may, but shall not be obligated to, make separate assessments for undivided interests in each tax parcel. The assessor shall not list the name of a tax lien certificate purchaser on the tax roll.
