2025 Millage Renewals
About
On November 15, 2025, Lafayette Parish voters will decide whether to renew two existing property taxes—called millages—that fund essential public services. These are NOT new taxes or tax increases—just a renewal of existing funding that supports core services. A rededication is also being proposed to increase drainage investments in the parish.
