Louisiana Tax Lien Sales

In this video we teach about Tax Sale Investing in the State of Louisiana.  Louisiana is a tax lien state.  In a tax lien state, a priority lien against the property is sold to an investor giving the investor the right to collection the back due taxes and earn interest.  In the event this lien does not get paid, the investor could foreclose it to gain ownership of the property.  This is different from a tax deed state where the ownership of the property is sold.

  • Tax Lien State
  • Owernship Bid Down State
  • Most Liens Still Sell at 100%
  • Redemption Period: Three Years
  • Rate: 5% Penalty + 1% Per Months (Regardless of initial ownership bid.)
  • Less with less than 100% ownership can be difficult to realize gains.
  • Search the name of the parish followed by "tax lien" to find county sites and more information.
