Ouachita Parish authorizes sale of five adjudicated properties by public auction
Summary
The Police Jury adopted Ordinance No. 9548 authorizing acts of sale for five adjudicated properties, listing parcel numbers, purchasers and bid amounts, and prescribing closing conditions including reservation of mineral rights and certification by E&P Consulting, LLC.
The Ouachita Parish Police Jury voted unanimously on May 18, 2026 to adopt Ordinance No. 9548, authorizing the parish to execute acts of sale for five adjudicated properties previously adjudicated to the parish for nonpayment of taxes. The ordinance sets minimum bids, records the successful bidders and auction dates, reserves mineral rights to the Parish, and specifies procedures and certifications required before closing.
The five parcels and recorded auction results in the ordinance text are: Parcel #7821 (Lot 1 Sq 1 Davis Lowe Addn) — purchaser Kassieta Brown, bid $1,400.00 (auction May 7, 2026); Parcel #71812 (error in description) — purchaser Quinton McFarland, bid $100.00 (May 7, 2026); Parcel #54468 (316 Malvern Street, Monroe) — purchaser Valisha Washington, bid $820.39 (May 7, 2026); Parcel #82099 — purchaser Frank D. Colvin, bid $666.66; Parcel #37496 (742 E Olive Street, West Monroe) — purchaser Building Homes, LLC, bid $1,199.99.
Ordinance No. 9548 prescribes closing conditions consistent with La. R.S. 47:2201 et seq.: E&P Consulting, LLC must examine mortgage, conveyance, probate and civil records and certify a list of potentially interested parties; required notices must be sent; and certifications that the statutory notice and redemption periods have elapsed must be filed prior to closing. The ordinance also directs the Parish President to execute cash sale documents and provides that sales are without warranty as to title. The roll-call vote recorded in the minutes shows unanimous approval (yeas: 6).
Why it matters: the ordinance clears adjudicated parcels for disposition, potentially returning tax-delinquent property to private ownership and clarifies the administrative and legal steps required before sale.
