| Flood Zone Concepts

| Chance of flooding | 1% or more | 1% to 0.2% | < 0.2% |
| Probability | 1/100 | 1/100 to 1/500 | < 1/500 |
| Frequency | 100 Yr | 100 to 500 Yr | More than 500 Yr |
| Color | Green | Red | White |
| Designation | A’s | X-shaded | X-unshaded |
A = base flood elevation is unmeasured
AE = base flood elevation is measured
AH = ponding
Floodway = area used for flood flow

Review webpage on tis website on Flood zones:
Review the flood zones at the City of Scott Exit on Interstate 10:
Floodzone legends designations
Use the legends to locate each the zones near the overpass:
-1- Above the 500 years flood plain
-2- Between the 500 year flood plain and the 100 year flood plain
-3- Within the 100 year flood plain
-4- floodway
-5- Locate point on the interstate 10 bridge that restricts the flow in the coulee
The changing weather patterns have created many one hundred storms that occur in one year repeatedly.
The Louisiana changing weather patterns are related to the warming of the Gulf of Mexico and resulting increased storage of heat that cause hurricanes to be stronger than in the past.
As a result of increase frequency of flooding, some municipalities require construction above the one hundred year flood plain.
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is a voluntary federal program insuring property from flood loss.
A floodplain administrator in each parish issues flood zone certificates for us win bank loan applications.
Example of flood certificate points near Scott, Louisiana
Most certificates are located in Zone AE and A because these zones can apply and receive building permits.
Other certificates in the floodway are rare because construction in the floodway is prohibited except when a complex drainage study is conducted.
There are few certificates located above the 500 year flood plain because certificates are not required for bank loans in higher elevations.
A civil engineer, an architect, or a surveyor can issue floodplain certificates; but usually surveyor measure the height of first finished floor elevation. Some surveyor do this work exclusively and have a widespread and private benchmarks that they use to calculate the elevation of structures. They do not usually allow other surveyors to use their benchmarks.

9-6 Tax Calculation of Owner Occupied, Rental and Farmland in Lafayette Parish
This pdf as linked to the instructor’s website is quote in full below. It is important.
-1- Units of measurement
decimal value = unit
1.0 = dollar
0.1 = dime
0.01 = penny
0.001 = mill
-2- only 10% of the property value is used to calculate taxes
500 x 0.10 = 50
fair market value x 10% = assessed value
-3- Example: the tax rate = 30 mils; assessed valued = $50
30 x 0.001 = 0.030
0.030 = mils
mils decimal value = mills
50 x 0.030 = $1.50
assessed value x mil ratio for 30 mils = property taxes
-4-Homestead Exemption = $75,000 market value
homestead exemption = owner occupied residential parcel
100,000 – 75,000 = 25,000
market value – homestead exemption = taxable market value
25,000 x 0.1 = 2,500
taxable market value x 10% = assessed value
2,500 x 0.030 = 75.00
assessed value x mil ratio for 30 mils = property taxes
-5- Real Life Example – Owner Occupied
The assessor’s website shows these values decimal values:
Parish of Lafayette + City of Lafayette = Total Tax decimal value within City of Lafayette
0.08242 + 0.01794 = .10036
decimal value of millages /decimal value of one mil = total mils
.10036/ .001 = 100.36 mills
200,000 – 75,000 = 125,000
market value – homestead exemption = taxable market value
125,000 x 0.1 = 12,500
taxable market value x 10% = assessed value
assessed value x decimal value within city and parish taxes = Total Taxes
12,500 x .10036 = 1254.50
-6- Real Life Example – Rental
200,000 – 0 = 200,000
market value – NO homestead exemption = taxable market value
200,000 x 0.1 = 20,000
taxable market value x 10% = assessed value
assessed value x decimal value within city and parish taxes = Total Taxes
20,000 x .10036 = 2007.20
-7– Use Value of Farmland, Timberland, and Marsh
Use value = Assessed value of land as shown on the last page of the following document:
http://www.latax.state.la.us/Menu_RulesRegulations/Rules and Regs Changes/RULES.UV.pdf
The document describes how to appraise farm, timber, and marsh lands.
Max value ranges based on the value of the real property.
Farmland = 42.01 to 14.97 as classed into 4 levels
Timberland = 40.27 to 7.56 as classed into 4 levels
Marsh = 7.00 to 5.00 as classed into 3 levels
-8- Example in Lafayette Parish in the City of Lafayette
acres x price per acre = max fair market value
100 x 6,000 = 600,000
fair market value x 10% = assessed value
60,000 x .10 = 6,000
assessed value x 100.36 miles = calculated taxes
6,000 x .10036 = 602.16
taxes / total acres = calculated taxes per acre
602.16 / 100 = 60.22
calculated taxes < max taxes
60.22 < 42.01
max taxes/acre x acres = max actual taxes
42.01 x 100 = 4201.00
