Terms of Sale:

Caddo Parish uses a tax lien certificate auction format for this sale. Louisiana now uses a tax lien certificate system, which means bidders purchase tax lien certificates, not immediate ownership of the property.

The auction uses a standard percent bid-down format. Bidders compete by lowering the monthly interest rate they will accept on the face value of the tax lien certificate. Louisiana law allows competitive bidding on the monthly interest rate, with bids in 0.10% increments. The lowest accepted interest-rate bid wins.

All parcels will go live at the same time and close at the same time. GovEase lists the bid clock length as 0 seconds, so bidders should not expect a long rolling close or extended bid clock unless the live auction page states otherwise.

Winning bidders must pay on time. GovEase instructions list the payment deadline as July 1, 2026, at 4:30 PM CDT. The listed payment method is online E-check. If a bidder plans to pay by wire transfer, they should email [email protected] for wire instructions. Wire payments can take 24 to 48 hours to process, so bidders should not wait until the final hours.

Refunds will start 7 to 10 business days after the sale finishes. GovEase will return refunds through the same payment method used for the original payment.

Louisiana tax lien certificates come with a redemption period. Property owners generally have 3 years to redeem after the tax lien certificate gets recorded. During that period, investors should track redemption rules, required notices, later tax payments, and deadlines carefully.
