A Alexandria house pays 0.906% of its taxable value in property tax. For a house at $183,700 of market value with the homestead exemption, that's about $1,169 a year.

Ways to pay less
- Seniors, disabled veterans, surviving spouses: freeze your assessed value. A constitutional amendment freezes the assessed value of the homestead-exempted property of senior citizens, disabled veterans and certain surviving spouses. It does not freeze the millage rate. How: File one signed application with the Rapides Parish Assessor.
- 100% service-disabled veterans: extra $7,500 of assessed value exempt. The next $7,500 of assessed value on a homestead owned and occupied by a veteran with a 100% service-connected disability rating is exempt from ad valorem taxation. How: Apply in person at the Rapides Parish Assessor's office.
