The homestead exemption here in LA is 75K, but really that doesn't matter because they can always jack the millage rates up. What really matters is what you end up paying, not how they calculate it.
FLA is pretty fucked up right now, however, you're paying higher property tax but you have no state income tax, your sales tax is lower than mine, and you have much better schools, hospitals, roads, etc etc to show for your money as opposed to here.
Louisiana sucks
