M.J. “Mert” Smiley, Jr., CLA

Assessor

Email Mert

Being a lifelong resident of Ascension Parish, I have seen it change from a rural farming community to a vibrant residential and industrial giant.  I spent 30 years in the automobile industry in several capacities, and over 15 of those years as a small business owner.  For the past 16 years, I have proudly served the public: 8 years as District 88 House of Representatives and 8 years as your Ascension Parish Assessor. 

Recently, I was elected without opposition for a third 4-year term.  I have been married for the last 48 years to my best friend and wife, Ina H. Smiley.  One of my proudest achievements is providing you, the good citizens of Ascension Parish, the most modern and efficient Assessor’s Office in the State of Louisiana because you deserve the very best.
