It takes place in the year:
We know this because, very early in the film, a copy of the "The Times-Picayune" newspaper's front page announcing the arrival of Prince Naveen in New Orleans dated for "April 25, 1926" is clearly visible on-screen. So it must be April of 1926 AD.

Additionally, the film opens with a prologue depicting the childhood of Tiana (based on the famous real-world New Orleans chef Leah Chase: 1923-2019). A different copy of the "The Times-Picayune" newspaper can be seen with a headline reading "WILSON ELECTED!!!!". It is certainly referring to the election of Woodrow Wilson to United States of America President in November of 1912 AD.
