LSU Tax District in Legal Mess | Baton Rouge News

LSU Economic Development District in Baton Rouge is collecting over $876,000 in sales taxes—but they’re legally shaky because they can’t prove which lands should be taxed, accidentally including residential zones that state law says shouldn’t be. A lawsuit by former Metro Council member Darrell Glasper exposed their lack of detailed maps, forcing them to pause collections while legal experts debate whether their taxable area is a Swiss cheese mess. The district claims state law defines their boundaries, but without clear maps, the courts are watching closely to see if they’ll keep collecting—or be forced to stop.
