Effective January 1, 2026, unpaid ad valorem property taxes in Louisiana are subject to the tax lien certificate process established by law. The tax collector will no longer sell ownership of the property at the annual tax sale, but will instead offer for sale a tax lien certificate representing the delinquent taxes, interest, penalties, and costs due. The purchaser of the tax lien certificate obtains a lien in the amount he paid for the lien plus interest, penalties, and costs.

This means the property owner does not automatically lose ownership at the time of the tax lien auction. In most cases, the owner will have time to pay the amount owed and keep the property. If the taxes remain unpaid for the required time, the lien holder may later take legal steps to enforce the claim.

Sheriff Claude J. Louis Jr. warns residents of an active ๐ฌ๐œ๐š๐ฆ in St. James Parish.

We have received reports of a phone/text ๐ฌ๐œ๐š๐ฆ where the scammer claims to be from the St. James Parish Billing Office and requests you to contact them regarding an important business matter. This is a ๐ฌ๐œ๐š๐ฆ.

Citizens are encouraged to speak with elderly family members and friends about this ๐ฌ๐œ๐š๐ฆ, as scammers frequently target senior citizens.

If you live outside St. James Parish and believe you're a victim of a scam, please contact your local Law Enforcement Agency to file a complaint.

St. James Parish residents can contact the St. James Parish Sheriffโ€™s Office directly at (225) 562-2200 to report any suspicious calls or incidents.
