Search Louisiana Property Records

In Louisiana, property records, including parcel data, assessed value, deeds, and tax history, are primarily maintained at the parish level by each parish's Assessor and Recorder. Statewide oversight and reporting are provided by the Official Louisiana Property Records at www.latax.la.gov. See the cards below or the parish page for direct local search links.

Louisiana does not have a single statewide free property search; deed and assessment data are searched at the parish level. The Official Louisiana Property Records publishes statewide property-tax rules and aggregate data at www.latax.la.gov; for individual parcels, use the parish assessor or recorder.

The parish Assessor determines property values for tax purposes and maintains the parcel roll. The parish Recorder (sometimes Clerk-Recorder) records deeds, mortgages, liens, and other instruments affecting title. In some Louisiana parishs these are combined offices; in others they're separate. The Official Louisiana Property Records at www.latax.la.gov publishes the full list.

Parcel identification numbers (APN, PIN, or parcel number depending on the parish) are assigned by the parish assessor. They appear on every tax bill and on the parish's online property-search interface. Once you have the parcel ID you can look up assessed value, ownership history, and recorded documents through the parish site; the statewide overview is at www.latax.la.gov.

Assessment appeals in Louisiana are filed at the parish level with the local assessment appeals board, typically within a deadline set after annual valuation notices are mailed. The Official Louisiana Property Records publishes the statewide rules, deadlines, and appeal forms at www.latax.la.gov.
