Title
A resolution offering full support to the St. Charles Parish Assessor in his regional efforts to secure a tax cap for the 2008 property taxes.
Body
WHEREAS, with the post-hurricane real estate boom in the River Parishes area property value has increased and property taxes will increase in 2008 due to the mandatory 100% forced re-assessment which is the next property assessment year; and,
WHEREAS, the past hurricane years have not only devastated people's lives as far as destroying their property, artificially increased the market value forcing the property tax assessment to increase beyond what the public can possibly stand which is the normal market increase; and,
WHEREAS, the St. Charles Parish Assessor along with Assessors from neighboring Parishes will travel to Baton Rouge to address the Commission regarding this issue.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THAT WE, THE MEMBERS OF THE ST. CHARLES PARISH COUNCIL, do hereby offer full support to the St. Charles Parish Assessor in his regional efforts to secure a tax cap for the 2008 property taxes.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution shall be forwarded to Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco, Senator Joel T. Chaisson, II, Representative Gary L. Smith, Jr., Office of the Louisiana Tax Commission, St. Charles Parish Assessor Clyde A. Gisclair, Ascension Parish Assessor Renee Mire-Michel, St. John the Baptist Parish Assessor Whitney Joseph, and St. James Parish Assessor Glenn Waguespack.
