Q: I paid my city taxes, and now I have a bill for my parish taxes? Who can assist with answering my questions about taxes in Lafayette Parish?

In Lafayette Parish, some property taxes are levied against property within each incorporated area (Broussard, Carencro, Scott, Duson, Lafayette, Youngsville), while some are levied on the entire parish. Residents of the city of Lafayette or other incorporated areas within Lafayette Parish must pay both parish taxes and city taxes. The parish property taxes are paid to and collected by the Sheriff within his capacity as Ex-officio Tax Collector for the parish. The Lafayette Consolidated Government collects those taxes levied against property within the city of Lafayette and other municipalities collect their respective taxes.

Q: Why can I not talk to my family member who is on critical watch or observation without staff approval?

He/she has been placed on a higher level of watch due to staff concern. We want to make sure they are safe. There are times when a conversation with a family member can be detrimental to this situation and put the offender at greater risk. Therefore, for the offender’s safety, all phone contact must go through the counselor during this period of time.

Q: My family member is on medication. How do I get it to them?

Simply bring the medications (in their bottles) to the jail and they will be given to the medical staff. Please note: all medications are subject to review by LPCC Physicians.

Q: How do I notify LPCC to have my family member evaluated?
