Sheriff Craig Webre announced the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office will host a tax title sale on Wednesday, September 15 from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
By hosting the sale online, bidders that would not normally be able to attend the auction in person are still able to participate, and it is open to the general public. Free registration and a list of available properties are now available through the LPSO website at LPSO.net/TaxSale.
Bidders are encouraged to participate online, but if they do wish to attend in person, a limited number of computer terminals will be available on the date of the tax sale on the third floor of the Ferd H. Block Building, located at 200 West 2nd Street in Thibodaux. The computer terminals will be available on a first-come, first-served basis and an LPSO representative will be on hand to answer any questions.
A tax title sale is the sale of properties that have delinquent taxes due. The tax titles for the properties are sold to the public for the amount of the delinquent taxes due, plus any accrued interest, penalties, costs, and other statutory impositions. The tax title sale is a “low bid wins” style auction in which the property is sold to the purchaser willing to bid on the least percent ownership interest in the property. Winning bidders of the tax sale are expected to pay for their purchases within 72 hours of the close of the auction. Payment must be made in full, and all sales are final.
To avoid having property sold at tax sale, property owners must remit property tax payments by 11:59 P.M. on September 13, 2021. Online tax payments cannot be made after that deadline. Bills not paid in full by that time will result in the property being sold at the tax sale on September 15, 2021. Tax payments can be made at the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office Administration Office (200 Canal Boulevard, Thibodaux) or at the South Lafourche Sub-station (102 W. 91st Street, Cut Off). For additional information, property owners can call the Thibodaux office at (985) 449-4430 or the Cut Off office at (985) 632-5843.
The auction and all future tax sales can be viewed online at LPSO.net/TaxSale.
