2022 MILLAGE RENEWAL ELECTION - NOVEMBER 8, 2022
On November 8, 2022, voters in Caddo Parish will be asked to decide whether or not to renew existing millages and approve a proposition that supports parish-wide operations and services that the Parish provides to its citizens.
What is a millage?
A millage is a means of assessing a property tax. 1 mill is equal to one-tenth of a cent.
It is important to note that the millages up for renewal and the bond proposition in this election are NOT new or increased tax rates. They are a continuation of what is already in place.
