How Pointe Coupee County sells delinquent taxes

From lien to deed

Louisiana holds no tax deed sale. A certificate holder who has not been paid files an ordinary proceeding under R.S. 47:2266.1 asking the court to recognize the delinquent obligation and the lien, and can do so only after the later of three years from recordation of the tax lien certificate or six months after sending the post-auction notices required by R.S. 47:2156. Those notices cannot go out more than one year before the suit, which makes years three through four the natural filing window. The petition names every owner shown in the conveyance records, and a notice of pendency of action goes into the mortgage records to preserve the lien while the case runs. Judgment is in rem only. It is executed by writ of fieri facias under Code of Civil Procedure Article 2291 and following, and the property is sold at a sheriff's judicial sale.

When it runs
One annual tax lien sale for immovable (real) property, held in midsummer. The sheriff lists the current sale as "Tax Lien Sale Date (Immovable Property): August 19, 2026" and gives the venue as the "Sheriff's Office Conference Room, Courthouse, New Roads, LA". A separate sale covers moveable property on its own announced date and continues, in the office's words, "each succeeding day until sales are completed."
Registration and deposit

Bidding happens in the room, so plan to attend or send a representative to the Sheriff's Office Conference Room at the courthouse in New Roads. The parish publishes no online bidder registration and no advance sign-up form. Call the Civil and Tax Division at (225) 638-5433 before the sale date to confirm the start time, what identification and registration the office wants from bidders, and which payment forms it will take from a winning bidder.

Sale format and venue
Pointe Coupee sells its tax liens in the room rather than online, in the Sheriff's Office Conference Room at the courthouse in New Roads. No auction vendor is named anywhere on the parish's pages, so no online platform is confirmed for this parish and a third-party site advertising this sale should be treated as unofficial. Work from the sheriff's own property tax page, which is where the office posts both the sale date and the delinquent listings. The parish splits the work into two sales: immovable (real) property on the announced summer date, and moveable property on a separate date. Land buyers want the immovable listing. The 2026 immovable sale is labelled a tax lien sale, matching Louisiana's move away from a transfer of title toward a lien recorded against the parcel.

Pointe Coupee County tax sale list and auction calendar

For Pointe Coupee County tax sale 2026 searches, use the county-run sources below rather than a copied parcel list, and confirm the parcel, registration cutoff, deposit, and payment deadline against the county before you bid.

  1. Get the advertised list

    Use Delinquent Tax Listings and Sale Dates for the current advertised parcels, then recheck it before the auction.

  2. Register to bid

    Ask the county office how and when to register; many counties close registration days or weeks before the sale.

  3. Sale day

    Louisiana holds no tax deed sale and no parish publishes a tax deed calendar. The sale is live and in person; there is no online bidding platform. Confirm the venue and hour with the county office before you go.

  4. Confirm with the office

    If the list, platform, and notice disagree, use Sheriff, executing a district court judgment obtained by the tax lien certificate holder as the source to confirm which parcels are actually offered.

Before you bid in Pointe Coupee County

  1. Start with the live sale list

    Pull the current advertised parcels from Delinquent Tax Listings and Sale Dates. Lists can change before the sale, so recheck the county source before you price a parcel.

  2. Confirm registration and deposit

    Bidding happens in the room, so plan to attend or send a representative to the Sheriff's Office Conference Room at the courthouse in New Roads. The parish publishes no online bidder registration and no advance sign-up form. Call the Civil and Tax Division at (225) 638-5433 before the sale date to confirm the start time, what identification and registration the office wants from bidders, and which payment forms it will take from a winning bidder.

  3. Check the state rules that change the bid

    Read the Louisiana due-diligence checklist before bidding. Redemption, liens that survive a tax deed, title cleanup, and payment deadlines can change what a parcel is worth.

  4. Set a walk-away number

    Work out what the parcel is actually worth with the rural land value estimator, then turn it into a ceiling with the tax deed max-bid calculator.

Over-the-counter (leftover) purchases

A lien nobody bids on has its certificate recorded in favor of the political subdivision, which then earns the full 1 percent per month. Any person may buy that lien from the political subdivision on the terms and conditions it sets, taking the same rights as any other certificate holder, and a political subdivision may adopt an ordinance for the public sale of the liens it holds and may sell for less than the full amount owed. There is no statewide list and no statewide price. Ask the tax collector and the parish or municipal governing authority which certificates are held and what their ordinance requires.

County notes

  • The sheriff, not a treasurer or an assessor, is the tax collector here. Sheriff Rene' Thibodeaux collects parish property taxes through the Civil and Tax Division, headed by Chief Civil Deputy Jadwin "Jay" Mayeaux. The division sits behind the courthouse at 128 Court Street in New Roads and answers at (225) 638-5433 or (225) 638-5400.
  • Plan on a summer sale. The office has set recent immovable-property sales in late July or August, and the current one is scheduled for August 19, 2026. Watch the sheriff's property tax page from spring onward for the exact day, since the parish announces it there before it announces anything else.
  • Two sales, two lists. Immovable (real) property sells on the announced summer date. Moveable property sells on a separate date and runs each succeeding day until the sales are completed. Both delinquent listings are linked from the same property tax page, so check which one you are reading before you underwrite anything.
  • There is no remote bidding. The sale is conducted in the Sheriff's Office Conference Room at the courthouse in New Roads, and the parish names no online auction platform, so budget for someone to be physically in the room on sale day.
  • Payoff figures come from the office, not from a printed notice. Parish taxes are due December 31, and once they go delinquent the total can change at any time as costs accrue. After delinquency the Civil and Tax Division accepts cash, credit cards, postal money orders or cashier's checks only. Call (225) 638-5433 to verify an amount before paying.
  • The sheriff's online payment portal is for paying a tax bill, not for bidding. Nothing about the annual lien sale is transacted through it.

Redemption
Louisiana replaced redemption with extinguishment of the lien, and the shape is different from a redemption clock. There is no date on which the owner's right lapses by itself. Any person may pay the termination price to the tax collector at any time. The holder cannot even start the enforcement suit until the later of three years from recordation of the certificate or six months after the R.S. 47:2156 notices went out, and once suit is filed the right to pay survives until the close of business on the thirtieth day after the last party was served. After that the tax collector stops accepting payment, and the lien can be extinguished only by the holder's own act or by court order: a party holding an interest may still file a contradictory motion before the judicial sale and ask the court to set the termination price, which the court fixes within 30 days and which must then be paid within 30 days more. The pressure on the holder comes from the other end. R.S. 47:2155(C) makes the right to sue peremptive at seven years from recordation, suspended while a political subdivision holds the certificate or a recorded bankruptcy stay is pending, after which the lien is extinguished and the inscription cancelled. Redemption periods that the constitution used to provide remain peremptive under R.S. 47:2241, but the amended constitution no longer provides any.
Surplus proceeds
R.S. 47:2267(B)(1) ranks the proceeds. The sheriff deducts the costs of the sale and any commission, then pays the plaintiff certificate holder the judgment plus judicial interest through the date of sale and reasonable costs and attorney fees, then any other tax lien certificate holders whose rights have not perempted, then holders of recorded mortgages, liens and privileges, and finally each owner according to their interest. The certificate holder is paid immediately even if the remaining parties are still arguing, and a dispute over the surplus cannot delay the sheriff's deed. Proceeds that cannot be delivered go into the registry of the court, and surplus left unclaimed for one year falls under the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act of 1997, R.S. 9:151 and following. The constitution now requires this: La. Const. art. VII, sec. 25(A)(1)(d) makes a procedure for claiming excess proceeds a minimum feature of the scheme.
Governing statute
La. Const. art. VII, sec. 25

A tax deed does not convey marketable title. Most buyers file a quiet title action before they can resell or insure the property. See the due diligence guide.
