Track 2 — Compliance Timeline

LA Full-Cycle Delinquent
Tax Collection Services

Tax sale compliance shouldn't be guesswork. JurisDeed manages the entire cycle for your office — from the first delinquent notice through post-sale title research, noticing, and OTC lien administration — with every action documented, statute-cited, and recoverable through your existing cost mechanisms. Every phase below maps to the statutory calendar; every charge is per-account.

End-to-end management without the uncertainty. JurisDeed was built by operators who have run these programs from the inside. We know every step, every statutory requirement, and every place the process tends to break. Your 2026 cycle can be fully managed, fully documented, and fully defensible. Let's get it set up.

Compliance Timeline & Per-Account Cost Schedule

All charges are per tax-bill account or per certificate and encoded to the delinquent account per RS 47:2153, RS 47:2154, RS 47:2236, and RS 47:2246. Costs are recovered through your statutory cost-recovery mechanism at the tax sale or future collection event.

How You Pay — Two Scenarios

Scenario A

You Are Holding a Tax Sale This Year

Invoice due net 30 from auction date — for every account that went to sale, whether or not it sold. For accounts that sold, costs are recoverable through sale proceeds and the statutory cost-recovery mechanism. For accounts that did not sell, your office can recoup costs through a subsequent OTC lien sale or adjudicated property sale, at your discretion. Post-sale research and noticing costs are separately recoverable under RS 47:2156–2157.

Scenario B

You Are Not Holding a Tax Sale This Year

Services are invoiced monthly as work is completed. Payment due net 30 from invoice date. All per-account costs remain fully encodable to the delinquent bill for recovery at any future collection event or OTC sale.

What Makes Full Cycle Different

One Relationship, Entire Cycle

No handoffs between pre-sale vendors, auction platforms, and post-sale attorneys. JurisDeed manages every phase under a single service agreement with a single point of accountability.

Vendor-Agnostic Platform

We coordinate with whichever auction vendor your parish uses — GovEase, SRI, or others. We do not require you to switch; we plug into your existing process.

Built for Auditors

Every action, notice, and filing is logged by account and exportable. When your legislative auditor asks, you can produce a complete compliance record in minutes.
