Selling a house in Louisiana: the rules that matter
Who runs the closing
Louisiana is a civil-law state — closings are passed before a notary (commonly a closing attorney). Cash sales still close on a normal two-to-three-week timeline.
Seller taxes and fees
Louisiana has no state real-estate transfer tax (Orleans Parish charges its own documentary transaction fee).
The foreclosure clock
Louisiana foreclosures run through the court, most commonly via executory process — faster than ordinary lawsuits but still a court-controlled timeline measured in months.
