Louisiana § 47:2129.1

• Jurisdiction: Louisiana
• Title 47: Revenue and Taxation

Text

A. Each tax collector in Rapides Parish shall have the discretion to accept the payment by a tax debtor of estimated taxes and any related statutory impositions on a quarterly basis. This grant of authority shall be contingent upon the prior authorization of the governing authority of the taxing authority which imposes the tax. The authorization shall be evidenced by resolution adopted by the governing authority. A tax collector may begin accepting quarterly payments in January of the year following the year in which the resolution was adopted.
B. Payments authorized herein shall be made in the year in which the taxes are due. The estimated amount of taxes or statutory impositions shall be based upon the tax debtor's tax notice of the preceding year. Upon receipt of the certified tax roll, the tax collector shall reconcile any advance payments made pursuant to this Section with the amount of taxes due according to the certified tax roll. Advance payments shall be shown on a tax debtor's tax bill as a credit against taxes due.
C. The tax collector shall deposit all payments collected pursuant to this Section in the same account as the avails of all ad valorem tax and statutory imposition collections. For purposes of settlement of tax proceeds, these monies shall be treated in the same manner as payments made upon receipt of that year's tax notice.
