RS 33:4545.24: Payment in lieu of taxes

A project owned by the Authority shall be exempt from property taxes; provided, however, that the Authority owning a project may, in lieu of property taxes, pay to any governmental body authorized to levy property taxes an amount in lieu of property taxes. Payments in lieu of taxes made hereunder shall be treated in the same manner as taxes for purposes of all procedural and substantive provisions of law. Except as herein expressly provided with respect to projects owned by the Authority, no other property of the Authority used or useful in the generation, transmission and transformation of electric power and energy shall be subject to payment in lieu of taxes.
