Useful offices

Lafayette Parish resources: what each office handles

Assessment, tax collection, recorded deeds, and court records are different tasks. Start with the office that matches your question, and use the exact address or case information when you contact it.

Lafayette Parish Assessor

Lafayette Parish · property assessment and valuation records

Use the Assessor’s property-search and mapping route for assessment information or an assessed-value question. Assessment is different from a tax balance, a recorded deed, or a court judgment.

Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office Tax Department

Lafayette Parish · parish tax information and collection

Use the Tax Department for parish property-tax information. The Sheriff also describes combined local and parish bills for Carencro, Youngsville, Scott, and Duson; ask which tax route applies to the property address. City of Lafayette property taxes have a separate LCG route.

Lafayette Consolidated Government — City Property Taxes

City of Lafayette only · City property-tax information

Use this City route for City of Lafayette property-tax questions. LCG lists City Property Taxes separately from Parish Property Taxes, so check the property’s actual jurisdiction rather than relying only on its mailing address.

15th Judicial District Court

Acadia, Lafayette, and Vermilion Parishes · court information

For a court-case or judgment question, use the Court’s official site and the Clerk’s civil-record search. The district covers three parishes; that district footprint alone does not establish the venue or status of a specific case.

LCG Planning, Development, and Property Maintenance

City of Lafayette and unincorporated Lafayette Parish, as identified by LCG service pages

Use LCG’s planning and development pages for planning or permit questions, and Property Maintenance and Code Compliance for local code or nuisance concerns. Confirm the correct jurisdiction and current requirements for the exact address; other parish municipalities have their own routes.

A Louisiana recording rule

Check the deed-recording fee before closing

A basic recording fee is $100 for one to five pages

Louisiana law sets a basic $100 fee for recording a document of one to five pages. Longer documents, extra indexed names, and other services can add charges. Ask the Lafayette Parish Clerk of Court or closing professional to confirm the charge for the actual deed.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate amounts.

Lafayette and Lafayette Parish resource questions

Which office handles the assessed value of a Lafayette Parish property?

Use the Lafayette Parish Assessor’s property-search and mapping route for assessment information or an assessed-value question. The Assessor is different from the offices that collect property taxes or record deeds.

Where can I check unpaid property taxes?

Start with the Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office Tax Department for parish tax information. For a City of Lafayette tax question, use LCG’s separate City Property Taxes route. The Sheriff also lists combined local and parish bills for Carencro, Youngsville, Scott, and Duson; check the actual address and bill jurisdiction.

Where do I look for a deed, mortgage, or court judgment?

Use the Lafayette Parish Clerk of Court’s recording and land-record pages for deeds, conveyances, mortgages, and related land documents. For a court case or judgment, use the Clerk’s civil-record route and the 15th Judicial District Court site. A court record is not the same search as a recorded deed or an assessment.

What is the basic Louisiana deed-recording fee?

Louisiana law sets a basic $100 fee for recording a document of one to five pages. Longer documents, extra indexed names, and other services can add charges. Ask the Clerk of Court or closing professional to confirm the fee for the actual deed. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Does the City of Lafayette handle every property in Lafayette Parish?

No. LCG describes separate Lafayette City Council and Lafayette Parish Council bodies, and the City is not every municipality in the Parish. Check the property’s actual jurisdiction before using a City tax, permit, or code route; the official LCG links above can help you find the right office.
