City Council to Receive Presentation on Tax Appeal Recommendations
At its next regular Council meeting on Tuesday October 20th, the City Council will receive a formal presentation from Frilot, LLC, of recommendations in connection with the 2010 tax appeals for Orleans Parish.
The presentation will specifically provide information on the number of appeals with a break down by type and district, and a summary of the aggregate recommendations by the Board of Review (BOR).
After the presentation, the Council, acting as the Board of Review, will vote on whether or not to approve the recommendations presented by Frilot, LLC.
Decision letters will be mailed to all appellants by October 25th and will contain information about taking further appeals to the Louisiana Tax Commission.
Frilot, LLC has reported a high level of participation from assessors and taxpayers, which has led to an increased number of settlements at tax appeal hearings. Hearings were held on September 30th, October 2nd and October 7th.
Frilot has handled approximately 6,000 tax appeals over the last three years for the BOR – approximately 5,400 appeals for tax year 2008, 450 appeals for tax year 2009 and 200 for tax year 2010.
This is the last BOR tax appeal year before the city changes to a single assessor next year.
