Start with the record or notice
Alexandria is the Rapides Parish seat. Parish assessment and tax collection, recorded land documents, court cases, and City permits or code questions go to different offices. Use the property address and the notice or record in front of you; ask the office to confirm the right route for that address.
Useful offices
Property valuation, unpaid taxes, recorded deeds, and court matters are not the same lookup. Start with the office below that matches your question.
Rapides Parish · assessed value and parcel records
Ask the Assessor about an assessed value, assessment record, or parcel information. Assessment questions are different from tax collection, deed recording, and court-file questions.
701 Murray Street, Suite 101, Alexandria, LA 71301 · 318-448-8511.
Rapides Parish · parish property-tax accounts
The Assessor FAQ identifies the Rapides Parish Sheriff as parish tax collector. For an unpaid parish tax bill or account question, contact the Sheriff using its current official contact route. Some municipalities issue and collect separate municipal tax bills, so check which office issued your bill.
Rapides Parish · deeds, mortgages, and recorded instruments
Use the Recorder for deeds, mortgages, and other instruments filed in the parish public records. A recorded-document lookup is separate from an assessment record or a court case.
701 Murray Street, Suite 102, Alexandria, LA 71301 · 318-473-8153.
Rapides Parish · civil suits, successions, and court filings
Ask the Clerk’s Civil Department about civil suits, successions, or the court file connected to a case. For an inherited house, the Clerk can point you to local filing information; the court and estate records determine the next step for a particular property.
701 Murray Street, Suite 102, Alexandria, LA 71301 · 318-473-8153.
City of Alexandria · construction permits and inspection requests
For a property within Alexandria city limits, use the City’s listed contacts for a construction project or an inspection request. These contacts do not establish that a house sale requires an inspection or certificate.
Construction permit or project questions: 318-473-1372 · inspection requests: 318-441-6333.
City of Alexandria · municipal code-enforcement questions
Use the City page for a code-enforcement question. For a notice about an abandoned, blighted, burned, or deteriorating structure, the City’s Community Development page describes its demolition program; use the notice and current case record to ask what applies to that address.
Helpful Louisiana rules
Louisiana’s basic statutory fee to record a deed is $100 for a document of one to five pages. Longer documents, extra indexed names, and other services can add charges. Ask the Clerk’s Recorder about the document you plan to record; the recording fee is not a quote for every cost of a sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Being named in a will is not the same as having court authority to sign. In an ordinary administration, the representative can sign an agreement subject to court approval of a private sale; an independent administrator can generally sell without a separate court application, subject to the succession papers and Louisiana’s independent-administration rules. Start with the Clerk’s Civil Department and the actual succession papers, then have the closing attorney confirm authority and any restrictions.
Alexandria’s Community Development page describes a demolition program for abandoned, blighted, burned, or deteriorating structures, including notice and a City process for unresolved complaints. If you have a City notice, contact the City about that case and any stated deadline or charges. A sale does not by itself erase an order or a lien tied to the property.

The Rapides Parish Clerk of Court Recorder handles deeds, mortgages, and other recorded instruments.
