Start with the East Baton Rouge Parish Assessor’s Office resources, including SmartCAMA Assessments Search for assessment records and EBRGIS Property Lookup for broader property details.

Assessor map and parcel tools
The East Baton Rouge Assessor map viewer supports parcel-based research with map layers and search features. It includes parcel data, owner names, PINs, lot and block information, parcel dimensions, tax districts, floodzones, city boundaries, and related map layers.
For map-based parcel review, use the East Baton Rouge Assessor GeoPortal. The Assessor’s Office states that map information is provided in good faith and should not be the only source relied on for property decisions.
Tip: Use the map viewer when you need parcel context, nearby boundaries, tax districts, or map layers that are easier to review visually.
EBRGIS property lookup

Search results appear in a table. Selecting a result opens property details that may be printed or exported to a CSV file.
- Enter the required information in one search field.
- Click the button for that search type.
- Review the tabular results below the lookup tools.
- Select a record to open the property detail window.
- Print or export the property details if needed.
Use the EBRGIS Property Lookup when you need address, subdivision, business, NAICS, or lot-based property information.
Open data and GIS records
East Baton Rouge property information is also available through public data and GIS resources. The Property Information dataset combines address information from the master address table with lot or property records. It is updated weekly and includes lot, address, subdivision, and related property fields.
The dataset is useful when you need a broader data view rather than a single property detail page. It includes rows for lots and columns such as lot ID, address number, full address, city, ZIP code, and subdivision.
EBRGIS Open Data provides access to published GIS data, including property boundaries and address point data. These resources are intended for research and reference use.
Assessor records, values, and tax context
The East Baton Rouge Parish Assessor’s Office provides access to assessment information and explains how assessed values are used in property tax calculations. Residential land and residential buildings are assessed at 10% of market value. Commercial buildings and commercial personal property are assessed at 15% of market value.
Property taxes are calculated by applying the millage rate to assessed value after any applicable exemptions. A mill equals $0.001 of value. Homestead exemption can reduce taxable assessed value for qualifying homeowners, but it does not apply to municipal taxes.
The Assessor’s Office also notes that the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office generates tax bills from computer data furnished by the Assessor’s Office.
When property information is missing or unclear
If a property record cannot be found in the EBRGIS lookup, contact the Department of Information Services for help with the lookup tool, missing records, or possible data errors.
For land use and zoning questions, contact the Office of the Planning Commission. For ownership and assessment information, use the Assessor tools or contact the East Baton Rouge Parish Assessor’s Office.
