Property records in Louisiana are maintained at the parish level. The Parish Assessor handles property valuations and assessment data. The Parish Sheriff handles tax bills and payments. These are separate offices with separate databases.
What this page covers: Louisiana property assessment lookups, tax record searches, and parcel/ownership data. What it does not cover: Recorded documents like deeds and mortgages (those are on the Recorded Documents page) or property transfer history.
Where to start: For property values and tax assessments, start with the Parish Assessor. For tax payment history and bills, go to the Parish Sheriff. For ownership verification, you may need both the assessment records and the recorded documents.
Common mistake: Property assessment records (values and taxes) and recorded documents (deeds and liens) are maintained by different offices in Louisiana. The Parish Assessor handles assessments; the Clerk of Court (Conveyance Office) handles recordings. Search both if you need the full picture.
