## Orleans Parish context

Orleans Parish is consolidated with the City of New Orleans, so the parish and the city are the same jurisdiction, but the paper trail is different from the other forty-nine states. Louisiana is civil law: foreclosure runs on executory process, where the lender files the authentic act with its confession of judgment in the Orleans Parish Civil District Court, a judge orders seizure and sale, and the sheriff auctions, often within a couple of months. Successions, Louisiana's version of probate, run through the same court, and heir property that never left a relative's name is one of the most common files in the parish. Conveyances and mortgages record at the Land Records Division and Notarial Archives, not a county courthouse in the common-law sense. InTym Properties pulls the parish records on every house before we write the offer.

The cost side is parish-level too. Louisiana has no state real estate transfer tax, but New Orleans is the exception: the City charges a flat $325 Documentary Transaction Tax on recorded transfers, and the ordinance puts that cost on the seller. Recording fees, curative title work on successions, and prorated parish ad valorem taxes fill out the seller's side, each itemized in your written offer before you sign. Flood-zone status, elevation, and Formosan termite history show up in the walkthrough math, not as surprises later. The city page below carries its own median price, days on market, and trend.

The parish records double as a legitimacy check for any company that offers to buy your house. The entity name on its contract should exist on the Louisiana Secretary of State corporations database, acts of sale and mortgages it records appear in the Land Records Division, and a licensed Louisiana title company or notary can confirm whether it actually closes files. The clause to look for in any offer is 'and/or assigns': it means the signer plans to sell your contract to someone else rather than buy your house.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which parts of Orleans Parish do you buy in?

All of New Orleans: Bywater, Mid-City, Gentilly, Lakeview, Algiers, New Orleans East, and every neighborhood in between. If you are unsure whether your address is in the parish, email hello@intymproperties.com or call/text (650) 540-1854.

### How does foreclosure work in Orleans Parish?

Louisiana foreclosure runs on executory process, the fastest route in the country: the lender files the authentic act in the Orleans Parish Civil District Court, a judge orders seizure and sale, and the sheriff auctions, often within a couple of months. You can sell any time before the auction, and the proceeds pay off the lender and stop it.

### What does it cost to sell a house in Orleans Parish?

Louisiana has no state transfer tax, but New Orleans charges a flat $325 Documentary Transaction Tax on recorded transfers, payable by the seller under the ordinance. The seller's other costs are recording fees at the Land Records Division, title work, and prorated ad valorem taxes. Your written offer shows every cost line by line, including which of those InTym Properties covers, before you sign.

### The house is still in a relative's name. Can I get an offer before the succession finishes?

Yes. Louisiana calls it a succession, not probate, and Orleans Parish successions run through the Civil District Court. InTym Properties makes a written offer now and closes when the court puts the heirs in possession, whether by judgment of possession or an independent administration. Your attorney sets the real timeline.

### How fast can you close in Orleans Parish?

As soon as 7 days if title is clear, longer if you need it. Parish files often carry flood, termite, or succession history, which is where the real timeline lives; the InTym Properties version is still one walkthrough, one written offer, one date you pick.
