How Louisiana Tax Deeds Work
Louisiana is a tax deed state, meaning when property owners fail to pay their property taxes, the county auctions off the actual property to recover the unpaid taxes. This gives investors the opportunity to acquire real estate at potentially significant discounts.
Louisiana Redemption Period
Even though Louisiana sells tax deeds, there is a 36-month redemption period during which the former owner can reclaim the property by paying the purchase price plus 12% interest.
