Start here
Property valuation, unpaid taxes, recorded deeds, and court judgments go through different offices. Use the links below for the record or notice you have, then use the local selling pages and calculator to compare your options.
Monroe city limits, Ouachita Parish, and the Fourth Judicial District are different boundaries. The court district also includes Morehouse Parish; check the property address and the court named on any case notice.
Useful offices
Start with the Assessor for valuation, the Sheriff for property-tax collection, the Clerk for deed and mortgage documents, and the court route for a civil case or judgment.
Ouachita Parish · property assessment and valuation records
Use the Assessor for assessment and property-data questions, including an assessed value. Assessment records are different from a property-tax balance, a recorded deed, or a court judgment.
300 Saint John Street, Monroe, LA 71201 · (318) 327-1300
Ouachita Parish · property-tax collection and Civil Division notices
The Sheriff identifies itself as Ex-Officio Tax Collector. Use its Civil/Tax page for the local property-tax contact route and ask about the account for the exact property. The Civil Division also describes court-ordered foreclosure-property seizure work; follow the office and dates shown on an actual notice.

Ouachita Parish · recorded deeds, mortgages, and recording information
Use the Clerk’s Mortgage Department and recording-fee information for a deed or mortgage document. Ask the Clerk which record or filing route applies to your document; a land-record search is separate from an assessment, tax account, or civil court case.

Ouachita and Morehouse Parishes · court and civil-case routing
For a court judgment or civil-case question, start with the case number and court named on the notice, then use the Court or Clerk’s Civil Department to ask for the right record route. The judicial district includes both Ouachita and Morehouse Parishes; its footprint alone does not establish the venue for an individual matter. Court records are different from recorded deeds and property assessments.

Louisiana recording cost
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 Ouachita Parish Clerk of Court or the 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.

Use the Ouachita Parish Assessor for assessment and property-data questions. The Ouachita Parish Sheriff identifies itself as Ex-Officio Tax Collector; use its Civil/Tax page for the local property-tax contact route. An assessed value and an amount due are different questions.

Start with the case number and court named on the notice, then contact the Fourth Judicial District Court or the Ouachita Parish Clerk of Court Civil Department. The district covers Ouachita and Morehouse Parishes, so that district boundary does not establish the venue for a particular case.
