Parishwide Proposition No. 1 of 4
Airport Millage Renewal – 1.71 Mills Renewal – PC – 10 Yrs.

● A YES vote supports continuing the mill for the airport.
● A NO vote would eliminate this mill for airport.

Summary
This is a proposal to continue collecting an existing property tax dedicated to the Lafayette Regional Airport. This is a renewal of an existing tax and not an introduction of a new tax. This means that voters will pay no more toward support of the Airport than they are currently paying; nothing will change. In 2012, Lafayette Parish voted in favor of collecting a 1.71 Mills tax for 10 years to improve, maintain, and operate the airport. This tax renewal would continue that tax for an additional 10 years through 2023.

Here is an example of the millage contribution for a typical homeowner who qualifies for a homestead exemption:
Home Fair Market Value $200,000
Residential Property Assessment Rate. x0.10
Assessed Value =$20,000
Homestead Exemption -$7,500
Taxable Assessed Value $12,500
1.71 mills levy = $.00171 x.00171
Property Tax Due $21.38

Shall the Parish of Lafayette, State of Louisiana (the “Parish”), continue to levy and collect a special tax of one and seventy-one hundredths (1.71) mills on all property subject to taxation in the Parish, for a period of ten (10) years, beginning with the year 2023 and ending with the year 2032 (an estimated $3,765,500 reasonably expected at this time to be collected from the levy of the tax for an entire year), for the purpose of improving, maintaining and operating the Lafayette Regional Airport?

Parishwide Proposition No. 2 of 4
(Drainage Millage Continuation) – 3.58 Mills Cont. – PC – 10 Yrs.

● A YES vote supports continuing the mill for drainage.
● A NO vote would eliminate this mill for drainage.

Summary
This is a proposal to continue collecting an existing property tax dedicated to drainage. In 2012, voters authorized for ten years a mill of 3.34 dedicated to drainage in the parish. This tax renewal would continue the tax for another ten years. Due to a decrease in commercial property tax values in Lafayette parish, the millage is to increase to 3.58 if renewal is approved. This means that although each property will be taxed at a higher rate, Lafayette parish will collect approximately the same total amount of revenue as the existing tax due to lower total property values. Because the same total amount will be collected, this tax is considered a continuation and not a new tax.

Here is an example of the millage contribution for a typical homeowner who qualifies for a homestead exemption:
Home Fair Market Value $200,000
Residential Property Assessment Rate. x0.10
Assessed Value =$20,000
Homestead Exemption -$7,500
Taxable Assessed Value $12,500
3.58 mills levy = $.00358 x.00358
Property Tax Due $44.75

__________

Parishwide Proposition 3 of 4
Library Millage Renewal – 1.84 Mills Renewal – PC – 10 Yrs.

● A YES vote on this millage would mean that for every $1,000 of taxable property the public library will continue to collect $1.

● A NO vote on this millage would eliminate this tax in support of the library.

Summary
This is a proposal to continue collecting an existing property tax dedicated to the Parish public library system. This is a renewal of an existing tax and not an introduction of a new tax. This means that voters will pay no more toward support of the Lafayette Public Library System than they are currently paying; nothing will change. This tax funds the Main Library and its nine branch locations throughout the parish. The public library is asking voters to renew the one and eighty-four hundredths (1.84) millage for another 10 years.

Here is an example of the millage contribution for a typical homeowner who qualifies for a homestead exemption:
Home Fair Market Value $200,000
Residential Property Assessment Rate. x0.10
Assessed Value =$20,000
Homestead Exemption -$7,500
Taxable Assessed Value $12,500
1.84 mills levy = $.00184 x.00184

__________

Shall the Parish of Lafayette, State of Louisiana (the “Parish”), continue to levy and collect a one and eighty-four hundredths (1.84) mills tax on all property subject to taxation within the Parish for a period of ten (10) years, beginning with the year 2023 and ending with the year 2032 (an estimated $4,051,700 reasonably expected at this time to be collected from the levy of the tax for an entire year), for the purpose of constructing, improving, maintaining and operating public libraries in the Parish, including the acquisition of equipment, books, materials and supplies?

Parishwide Proposition 4 of 4
Public Health Millage Rededication – 2.21 Mills Reded. – PC

● A YES vote on this millage rededication means that for every $1000 of taxable property, $1.98 will go to public health and $0.23 will go to fire protection.

● A NO vote means the tax remains as originally dedicated; for every $1000 of taxable property, $2.21 goes to public health.

Summary
The Lafayette Parish government is asking voters to rededicate part of a currently existing millage for public health that is paid by property owners and is currently authorized through November 18, 2025. This means the parish already collects this millage and is not raising new taxes. However, this proposition will change the use of approximately 10 percent of the public health tax and redirect it to fire protection for Lafayette Parish. In November 2018 voters in Lafayette Parish voted ‘no’ on a dedicated tax for fire protection for the unincorporated areas of the parish.
A millage rate determines the amount of taxes levied from a property. A mill is 1/1000 of a dollar.
