Notable Louisiana Rules

Louisiana has the highest homeowners-insurance premiums in the country (along with Florida) because of hurricane and flood exposure. The state homestead exemption removes the first $75,000 of assessed value from parish (county) taxes. Federal flood insurance via NFIP is mandatory in mapped flood zones.
