Business Reporting (Personal Property)

Louisiana law requires that all businesses report to our office all moveable assets that are used to operate their business. Each year the East Baton Rouge Parish Assessor's office mails the LAT-5 forms and any other forms necessary for a business owner to comply. It is the responsibility of the business owner to notify the Assessor's Office of any address changes.

All LAT forms are generally mailed in February and must be filed with our office by April 1st.
LAT forms can also be downloaded from the Louisiana Tax Commission's website:
 

Once the forms are received by our office, an assessed value can be determined. The assets are depreciated according to a schedule that is furnished by the Louisiana Tax Commission.

It is very important to submit the form(s) by April 1st. Failure to comply will result in an estimated assessed value. All forms filed with our office are strictly confidential.
