Sales tax in Cameron Parish, Louisiana

By Brent Chudoba, editor Updated

No local sales tax rate is published for Cameron Parish, Louisiana. Louisiana charges a state rate of 5%, but neither the state nor the parish publishes a local rate for this jurisdiction, so there is no combined figure we are willing to print. What is known is below.

Why the rate here is not the whole story

Louisiana charges 5 percent statewide, and every local sales tax is levied and collected locally rather than by the state, by the parish school board, the parish governing authority, the sheriff's law enforcement district, municipalities and economic development districts, so the parish line is not the tax boundary. Cameron is the one parish the Louisiana Association of Tax Administrators publishes no rate table for, and the state's Parish E-File system covers every parish except this one, which is consistent with the parish having no local sales tax of its own. No current primary source states a local rate here, so the combined range is left unknown rather than published, and the state's 5 percent is the only figure confirmed. Use the state address lookup or call the Cameron Parish Police Jury before charging tax at an address in this parish.

How do I find the exact rate for an address in Cameron Parish?

The rate is the same across Cameron Parish, but if you are collecting tax it is worth confirming against the source. Use Louisiana's own lookup. A vendor's calculator is not the state speaking.

Who has to collect sales tax in Cameron Parish?

A seller with a physical presence in Louisiana collects at the rate for the address where the sale takes place. A remote seller collects once it passes Louisiana's economic nexus threshold, which is a separate question from the rate and is covered on our sales tax nexus checker. Marketplace facilitators generally collect on behalf of their sellers.
