The Ouachita Parish Police Jury adopted Ordinance No. 9528 on Oct. 20, 2025, authorizing the parish to execute acts of sale for five adjudicated properties to the highest acceptable bidders and setting conditions for sale, including reservation of mineral rights and required certification and notice steps by E&P Consulting, LLC.
The ordinance lists the five parcels by parcel number, municipal address (when applicable), purchaser name and the reported bid amount.

The ordinance references the parish’s finding that redemption periods under Article VII, §25 of the Louisiana Constitution elapsed and cites LA R.S. 47:2201 et seq. as the authority to sell adjudicated property after the redemption period. The ordinance also requires E&P Consulting to certify mortgage, conveyance, probate and civil suit records and to provide required notice to parties with potential interests before closing.
The ordinance was introduced at the Oct. 6 meeting and was adopted by roll call vote on Oct. 20: YEAS 6 (Toni Bacon; Jimmy Tyson; Larry Bratton; Michael Thompson; Shane Smiley; Lonnie Hudson), NAYS 0, ABSTAIN 0.
What it means: The parish president is authorized to execute cash sale documents containing the ordinance’s conditions and requirements; closings must include certification and notice steps required under state law. The ordinance does not disclose post-closing administrative timelines in the minutes or the parish accounting entries that will record proceeds.
