Notes

Louisiana tax-lien reform effective January 1, 2026: parishes sell tax lien certificates (not ownership percentages) with interest-rate bid-down mechanics; 3-year redemption before deed path. Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office registers annual tax lien auction bidders via Zeus Auction (zeusauction.com). Separate weekly judicial auctions (mortgage/creditor) Wednesdays 10:00 a.m. at Westbank Administration Complex, Harvey — not the annual tax lien sale. Confirm 2026 sale dates on jpso.com.

Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — La. Const. art. VII, § 18: land is assessed at 10% of fair market value, improvements for residential purposes at 10%, and other property at 15%. This entry uses the 10% residential rate. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
