The Ouachita Parish Police Jury on Sept. 16 adopted Ordinance No. 9499 authorizing the sale of four adjudicated properties by cash Act of Sale and specifying conditions for sale under Louisiana law.
The ordinance lists the parcels and the high bidders recorded at the Sep. 5, 2024 auction: Parcel #7462 (lots in Davis Lowe Subdivision)—purchaser Shakana L. Turner, bid $1,236.63; Parcel #55026 (Lamyville lot)—purchaser Anthony Anderson, bid $1,243.20; Parcel #24444 (described in plat book 8, page 19)—purchaser Ernest Underwood, Jr., bid $598.37; and Parcel #48970 (same general square as 24444)—purchasers Michael Henry, Sr. & Shari Henry Thompson, bid $965.69. The minutes record these purchaser names and bid amounts as part of the ordinance.
Ordinance No. 9499 declares the listed properties surplus and sets conditions for the Act of Sale in accordance with La. R.S. 47:2201 et seq. Conditions include: sales executed without any warranty (including return of purchase price); reservation of mineral rights to the Parish while conveying surface rights; certification by E&P Consulting, LLC that mortgage, conveyance, probate and civil suit records were examined; proof that required notices were provided to interested parties; acceptance of certified funds at or near closing; and certification that the statutory redemption period has elapsed and the property has not been redeemed. The ordinance notes compliance with prior parish ordinances that established redemption periods.
The Jury adopted the ordinance by roll call vote (6–0). The Police Jury President was authorized to execute a Cash Sale containing the required conditions and to complete the sale within statutory timelines.
What happens next: E&P Consulting, LLC must provide required title/mortgage reviews and notices before closing, and the Parish President is authorized to execute the sales documents once conditions are satisfied.
