Louisiana Tax Commission approves majority of change orders, places a handful pending or denied
Summary
At its Jan. 28, 2026 meeting in Baton Rouge the Louisiana Tax Commission approved staff recommendations on two sets of change orders, voting to approve 1,889 of 1,953 recently submitted orders and approving 63 of 64 prior pending orders; a small number were placed in pending status or denied.
The Louisiana Tax Commission met at the State Capitol in Baton Rouge on Jan. 28, 2026, and approved the minutes from its Jan. 14 meeting before voting on staff-recommended change orders.
Shandrika Banks, speaking on behalf of the commission staff, told commissioners, “Today, we have a total of 1,953 change orders,” and said staff reviewed the submissions and recommended approval of 1,889, placing 58 in pending status and denying six. An unidentified commissioner moved to approve the staff recommendation; when the chair asked for objections, none were raised and the chair declared the motion adopted.
Banks then reported on an additional set of 64 prior pending change orders. She said staff recommended approving 63, placing one in pending status and denying one. The commission moved to accept that recommendation; again, the chair asked for objections, heard none and declared the motion adopted.
There were no remarks from commission members after the votes. An unidentified commissioner moved to adjourn and the meeting ended at 9:06 a.m.
The meeting record shows the commission handled two discrete votes on staff-recommended change orders and the prior pending items; specific case-level details (which parcels or taxpayers are affected) were not provided in the oral record and are not specified in the meeting transcript.
