How to look up property records in Louisiana

Common questions
Are property records public in Louisiana?
Yes. The owner of record, assessed value and recorded deeds are public in Louisiana. Some protected people, such as judges and law enforcement officers, may ask for their home address to be shielded.
How do I find who owns a property in Louisiana?
Find the parcel on a parcel map such as CLILU (covering 45 Louisiana parishs and counties), or search the parish assessor's website by address or owner. Confirm with the deed at the parish recorder or clerk.
Where are deeds recorded in Louisiana?
Deeds are recorded by the parish clerk or recorder where the property is located. Many offices offer online index searches; copies may carry a small fee.
