Combined Total
Important: This page uses 2024 public reports where available. Property-tax figures may reflect levies, assessed amounts, or collections depending on the public report. Per-resident figures use U.S. Census Bureau July 1, 2024 parish population estimates. Most St. Tammany sales-tax details are net of collection costs. The Roads, Bridges & Drainage amount uses the Parish Government 2024 amended budget figure from the ACFR.
