For the Locations and times of Farmer's Markets and more, throughout St Tammany Parish, LA, please click the great interactive map by Google. At these markets you can find locally grown vegetables, arts and crafts, such as Artwork, birdhouses, jewelry, and furniture. As well, garden variety plants for your home, tomatoes and other veggies and flowering plants too. In some cases there is live music. These free markets include the cities of Covington, Mandeville, Madisonville, Abita Springs, Folsom, and Bush. If there are any I missed please let me know. I do not have any here for Slidell, Lacombe, or Pearl River. If anyone posts with information, I will add them to the map.

St Tammany Property Tax bills to be delayed a short time more.

They are coming soon to a mailbox near you, St Tammany Parish property tax bills. WDSU 6 News. Take cover, watchout, beware. Muuuaaaaahhhhhhhahahahahahaha!!!!! (insert evil laugh). These bills are late bloomers, but pack a punch, I have no doubt.

Any problems with the assessment of your property tax bills in St Tammany you can go to the St Tammany Parish Assessor's Official Website as a starting point.

If you have any trouble with your property tax bill you need to contact the St Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office - Tax Division or email questions to PropertyTax@stpso.com. This includes trouble paying the bill or the question, What happens if I do not pay my bill? The Sheriff's Office will sell your property at the annual tax sale and you will then have three years to redeem the property. After that you can pretty much waive goodbye to it. It could cost you a good bit of money to get it back at that point, because someone else is now on title and you would then have to buy them out to get the property back. 

I don't want to go into too much detail about the property tax sales because I already have a post with some information at St Tammany Talks Property Tax. As well I can email a list of some of the LA State Laws concerning Property Tax Sales and notify you of the next upcoming sale if you visit www.StTammanyTaxSale.com.

Thank You

Our Night Sky Above

"When you see what real dark skies are like without light pollution it triggers something."

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/3526362/Amateur-astronomer-captures-dawn-of-the-universe-from-back-garden-observatory.html

I grew up on 10 acres in the woods. On a dead end gravel road. No street lights, nothing but the stars above. There is so much beauty in the night sky it is humbling. I have seen over a hundred shooting stars, as well, on the cold nights, when the air is clear, the stars damn near speak to you. You can almost touch them. The Milky Way stretches across the sky. There is alot of beauty out there we are missing, just by not looking at our night sky once a day/evening. <---- lol

Changes to St Tammany Parish Flood Zone Maps

Changes to St. Tammany flood zone maps anger residents. Courtesy of WWLTV News

This article focuses more on East St Tammany, but it could have an effect on the rest of the parish, just by the rate increase pushing people to move out of the new flood zones, getting to higher ground. Incorporating the more unincorporated areas of Pearl River and Talisheek, possibly even Abita Springs, especially with the fortune of an Interstate Exchange slicing through St Tammany Parish in the future. I think the main reason for the changes is 70% of Slidell flooding during Hurricane Katrina.
