What kind of notice do owners and other parties with an interest in the property receive prior to a tax title sale?
The tax collector sends a written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to each tax notice party when the tax debtor has not paid all the statutory impositions which have been assessed on the property. This notice provides that the statutory impositions on the property must be paid within twenty (20) days after transmission of the notice or as soon thereafter before the tax sale is scheduled, or that tax sale title to the property will be sold according to law. The form of pre-sale notice is codified at
La. R.S. 47:2153 (A) . Prior to the tax sale, the tax collector shall send a written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to each tax sale party identified pursuant to a search of the mortgage and conveyance records of the tax sale eligible property.
