Abita Springs property owners will see slightly lower local millage rates on their 2020 tax bill, thanks to millage reductions by the town of Abita Springs and St. Tammany Parish Fire District 8, which serves the town and the surrounding area.
At the Abita Springs Town Council’s June 16 meeting, council members voted to accept the St. Tammany Parish Assessor’s Office rollback of two of the town’s three millages as a result of its 2020 property reassessments.
The town’s general alimony millage for town operations was reduced from 7.86 to 7.42 mills, while the millage for parks, playgrounds and street lighting was reduced from 3.00 to 2.83 mills. The town’s water, sewer and street bond tax rate was not subject to rollback and remained at 5.00 mills, bringing the total millage to 15.25 for 2020 compared to 15.86 for 2019.
