Evacuteer is a community-focused non-profit here in New Orleans, and our Evacuteers are neighbors helping neighbors. Each year for hurricane season, we work to empower the community to train with us so that if we are activated, our volunteers are ready to help people register at their local Evacuspots and at the bus station for processing. 

Our Evacuteers are asked to serve (1) 7-hour shift, and you’ll be finished by the time contraflow opens!  

We have 2 upcoming trainings in August in Algiers and would like to invite you to attend.

The Orleans Parish Assessor’s Office will hold an open rolls period Wednesday (July 15) through Aug. 17 during which property owners can visit the assessor at four locations across the city and file informal appeals of their taxable assessments.

To contest an assessment value, people should bring an assessment letter and “any additional documentation to support their claim, such as a recent appraisal, a builder’s contract, photos or insurance coverage of the property,” according to the assessor’s office.

“You do not dispute the property assessment because you think your taxes are too high. That is a discussion to take up with the taxing authorities,” Assessor Erroll Williams said in statement. “You should see me because you think the value placed on your property is inaccurate due to estimations on its size, comparable sales or market values.”

The open roll period will be held place from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays at the following locations:

–City Hall, 1300 Perdido St., 4^th floor

–Algiers Courthouse, 225 Morgan St., 1^st floor

–Lakeview Christian Center, 5885 Fleur De Lis Drive, 2^nd floor (July 15 to Aug. 17 only)

–New Orleans East satellite, 5555 Bullard Ave., Suite 103 (July 15 to Aug. 17 only)

Property owners can also file formal appeals with the Orleans Parish Board of Review by going to www.nolaassessor.com. Click the E-File link in the left column then click Appeal of Taxable Valuation. This link will be operational from July 22 through 4 p.m. Aug. 20.
