French Quarter Management District

Q4Q - Quarter percent tax for the French Quarter

The French Quarter tourist tax of 0.245% was originally passed in 2020. It funded the French Quarter Management District’s safety programs for five years. In that time, the FQMD has worked with state and local officials to make substantial improvements to the security and quality of life in the French Quarter.

In addition to the programs listed above, the FQMD has supplemented local safety patrols and improved sanitation services in the French Quarter. 

We are proud to note that crime in the French Quarter has dropped significantly during this same period.
