Closing Costs in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana

Closing on a home in St. Bernard Parish involves navigating two distinct tax districts with varying millage rates and property tax considerations.

St. Bernard Parish encompasses several communities including Chalmette, Arabi, and Merrydale. The parish operates under two separate tax districts, each with different millage rates, which impacts property tax calculations during closing. The median home price in the parish is approximately $195,000. Understanding the specific tax district for your property is essential, as the default millage of 141.10 mills applies broadly, but your actual rate depends on which district your property falls within. This complexity requires careful attention during the title and closing process.
