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.
