Council clears path to sell city-adjudicated lot at 312 Wilbur Dangerfield Drive to adjoining owner
Summary
Council introduced an ordinance to seek full ownership of a tax-adjudicated lot at 312 Wilbur Dangerfield Drive and to start the statutory process to offer it for sale to the adjoining landowner who has maintained it; staff said advertising and notices are required next steps under LSA RS 47:2236.
The council introduced an ordinance declaring the city’s intent to obtain full ownership of property adjudicated to the city at 312 Wilbur Dangerfield Drive and authorized steps toward sale to the adjoining landowner under state statute LSA RS 47:2236. Staff explained the parcel was adjudicated after a 2011 tax sale, that the adjoining owner (who lives at 314 Wilbur Dangerfield Drive) has maintained the lot for more than a year, and that the statute permits a direct sale without public bidding if conditions are met.
Administration described the required next steps: advertising the sale, providing notice to interested parties and recording the transaction if no competing claims emerge. The council voted to introduce the ordinance to begin that process; staff said they will proceed with notices and follow the statutory procedure before any final sale.
