Rental property taxes

Terry Pratt
Posted

This post is intended to be more about real estate than politics, but I didn't notice a more appropriate RE forum here.

In many but not all states, owner-occupied homes are taxed at one rate and rental properties are taxed at a higher rate. I am researching this within the United States.

Question for landlords:

Are your rentals and your primary residence taxed differently? (tax rates, homestead exemption, etc)

I'd like to get a handle on the tax differences across the country.

Louisiana:

The only difference is that if you own it and live in it, you can get a homestead exemption on the first $75,000 of the value of the property: ie. no taxed paid on the homesteaded amount. This does not cover Municipal taxes though, except in the City of New Orleans.
