§ 2.5-9. Liens.  


Latest version.
  • The director or the hearing officer may record a certified copy of an order imposing a fine or other charge in the public records of the parish. Once recorded, the certified copy of this order shall constitute a lien against the land on which the violation exists, and any lien placed against such immovable property under this chapter shall be included in the next annual ad valorem tax bill and must be paid along with such taxes, subject, however, to any valid homestead exemption. Failure to pay the liens shall cause any parcel of immovable property which is not subject to a bona fide homestead exemption to be subject to the same provisions of law as govern tax sales of immovable property. Any lien placed against immovable property that has a legal homestead exemption from taxes will become payable ninety (90) days after the death of the owner thereof or immediately upon transfer of title to a new owner, whichever comes first.
