ORDINANCE NO. 4307

ADJUDICATED PROPERTIES

September 16, 2009

Page 15

WHEREAS, the Police Jury of Bossier Parish previously adopted Ordinance No. 4304 of 2009, providing for

the regulation of the acquisition of full ownership and merchantable title to adjudicated properties;

WHEREAS, the properties identified on Exhibit A have been previously adjudicated to Bossier Parish and

more than five years have elapsed from the filing of the tax sale certificate for each property; and

WHEREAS, the provisions of La. R.S. 47:2236 et seq. allow the Police Jury to declare, by ordinance duly

enacted, that it intends to acquire a full ownership interest in adjudicated properties.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, that:

Section 1: Claim of Ownership of Adjudicated Property.

A. The Police Jury of Bossier Parish, in regular session convened on the date set forth below, hereby

declares it intends to acquire a full ownership interest in the properties identified on Exhibit A in accordance with the

provisions of this Ordinance and La. R.S. 47:2236 et seq.

B. A copy of this ordinance shall be filed with the recorder of mortgages for Bossier Parish. The recorder

shall index the names of the tax debtor and the Parish of Bossier as mortgagees. A transfer, mortgage, lien, privilege, or

other encumbrance filed after the filing of the ordinance shall not affect the property. The recorder of mortgages or

recorder of conveyances shall cancel, erase, terminate, or release the acts upon the request of the Parish Administrator.

C. The Parish Administrator shall, within thirty days after the filing of the instrument and ordinance

described above, or as soon thereafter as practical, send a written notice regarding the acquisition to the tax sale parties

whose interest the Parish of Bossier intends to be terminated, that the party has until sixty (60) days after the date of the

notice to redeem the property or otherwise challenge in a court of competent jurisdiction the acquisition.

D. The notice shall constitute a notice of sale. The sending of this notice shall constitute service of the

notice of sale under Article VII, Section 25 of the Constitution of Louisiana. The notice required by this Ordinance shall

be sufficient, and it shall not be necessary to determine whether notice of the tax sale or any other notice was given. The

notice shall be sufficient if it conforms with La. R.S. 47:2236(C)(2).

E. The Parish Administrator shall cause to be published in the official journal of the Parish of Bossier a

notice that any tax sale party whose interest the Police Jury intends to be terminated has until sixty (60) days to redeem

the property or otherwise challenge in a court of competent jurisdiction the acquisition. The publication shall be

sufficient if it is in the form provided for by La. R.S. 47:2236(D)(2).

F. If the property is not redeemed within the time limit set forth in this Ordinance, the ordinance shall

become operative, and the Parish of Bossier shall acquire full ownership of the property, subject only to such rights as

determined by a final judgment rendered in an action filed within the time limits set forth in this Ordinance. The Parish

Administrator shall file a notice in the conveyance records indicating that the Parish of Bossier has acquired full

ownership of the property in compliance with this Section. The notice shall be sufficient if it conforms with La. R.S.

47:2236(E).

G. Contemporaneously with or subsequent to the filing of the notice, the Parish Administrator may file

with the recorder of mortgages an affidavit indicating how the tax sale parties whose interest the Police Jury intends to be

terminated were identified, how the address of each tax sale party was obtained, how the written notice was sent, the

results of sending the written notice, and the dates of publication. The affidavit may also contain a statement of the

interest to which the Parish of Bossier takes subject. The recorder of mortgages shall index the affidavit only under the

names of the Parish of Bossier and the tax debtor, as mortgagors. The affidavit shall be sufficient if it is in the form set

forth in La. R.S. 47:2236(F).

H. The filing of the affidavit provided in this Ordinance with the recorder of mortgages of Bossier Parish

shall operate as a cancellation, termination, release, or erasure of record of all statutory impositions of all political

subdivisions then due and owing, of all governmental liens, and of all interests, liens, mortgages, privileges, and other

encumbrances recorded against the property sold and listed in the affidavit.

Section 2. Sale of adjudicated properties owned by the Parish.

A. In the event Parish of Bossier acquires full ownership of any or all of the adjudicated properties

described in Exhibit A pursuant to the provisions of La. R.S. 47:2236 and Section 1 of this Ordinance, the Police Jury

hereby authorizes the Parish Administrator to sell said acquired adjudicated property or properties at public auction as set

forth in Ordinance No. 4304 of 2009.

B. The Parish Administrator may select any or all of the adjudicated properties acquired by the Parish as

listed on Exhibit A, for sale at public auction. The selection of these properties shall be in the sole discretion of the

Parish of Administrator and may be done in single parcels or in multiple lots.

Section 3. General

All Acts of Sale of adjudicated property shall contain provisions, acceptable in form and substance to the legal

counsel for the Police Jury, which provide that all such sales shall be for cash and shall be without warranty of title and

without any warranty of merchantability or fitness; shall be “as is, where is”; that it shall be the obligation of the

purchaser to obtain title insurance, if it is desired; that all such sales shall be subject to such encumbrances, liens,

mortgages, real charges or other burdens reflected in the public records; and that the Act of Sale for such adjudicated

property shall contain a condition which shall require the purchaser of such property to improve/renovate/make use of the

tract, to the satisfaction of Bossier Parish Police Jury, within 270 days of the passage of the Act of Sale and that, if the

purchaser fails to timely comply with this provision, Bossier Parish Police Jury shall have the right to dissolve or cancel

the sale.

Section 4. Severability

Should any part of this ordinance be declared null, void, invalid, illegal or unconstitutional, the remainder of the

said ordinance shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 5. Effective date

This ordinance shall become effective this 16th day of September, 2009.
