Property Tax Notices are mailed as soon as possible after the Lincoln Parish Assessor receives approval of the tax roll from the Louisiana Tax Commission. The notices are mailed to the address of record maintained by the Assessor.
If you disagree with the amount of taxes, please contact the Lincoln Parish Assessor’s Office. The Tax Collector’s Office is responsible for the collection of taxes, but not the valuation of the property.
If you have not received your tax notice, you may contact our office for a copy or contact the Assessor’s office. Alternatively, you can click the “Pay Your Taxes” link from the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office main webpage and look up the information.
In Person. Payments can be made in person at the Tax Collector’s Office. We accept cash, certified funds (money order or cashier’s check), personal / business check, or credit card. Please bring your property tax statements with you when making payments in person.
By mail. Payments can be made through the US Postal Service by sending check or certified funds to the Lincoln Parish Tax Collector’s Office, PO Box 2070, Ruston, LA 71273-2070. Overnight payments should be sent to the Lincoln Parish Tax Collector’s Office, 100 W Texas Ave, Ruston, LA 71270. Please include the remittance portion of the tax statement with your payment.
If you use a third-party bill payment firm, please include the property tax notice number on the face of the payments, and, if possible, include a copy of the tax notice(s) to ensure proper application of the payment.
Online Credit Card. Online payments can be made through a third-party website that can be accessed from the “Pay Your Taxes” link on the Sheriff’s Office main website.
A Note About Credit Card Payments: All credit card payments are processed through a third party which charges a fee of 3.45%.
Beginning on May 15 of each year, payments of delinquent property tax must be paid by certified funds.
Yes, you may include multiple notices in one payment. Please include the remittance slip for all of the tax notices with the payment.
Property Taxes are due by December 31 of each year.
If you do not pay your property taxes by December 31, they will be considered delinquent. Delinquent taxes incur interest at the rate of 1% per month (or any part thereof), and additional fees will be assessed based upon the length of time taxes have remained unpaid.
If property taxes on real estate have not been paid by the end of May, the property is subject to the sale of a tax lien during an online auction conducted by a third-party. More information on the tax lien sale process can be obtained by contacting the Tax Collector’s Office.
If personal property taxes have not been paid by the end of May, the personal property is subject to seizure by the Sheriff’s Office, with subsequent sale of the property.
