Caddo Parish auction guide
Caddo Parish has sealed-bid sessions for adjudicated property on November 18 and December 2, 2026. The offered interest is the Parish's tax title. Review each notice's property list and conditions before preparing a bid.
Property and interest offered
Notice 364 lists the November session's properties, sets no minimum bid and names Government Plaza in Shreveport as the public opening location. Check for property-specific conditions, including demolition orders that require acknowledgment from the high bidder. The separate December session is scheduled for December 2. A purchase of the Parish's tax-title interest does not establish fee-simple title.
Submitting a bid
For November 18, bids must arrive by 9:00 a.m. Central Time; opening is at 9:30 a.m. Use the signed form and sealed envelope, without showing the bid amount outside. Submit by hand, mail or commercial courier. Late bids are returned unopened; fax, telephone and electronic bids are not accepted. Include a cashier's check or money order payable to the Parish for the bid plus estimated sale expenses. The original applicant includes only the bid amount. Check the session's notice for the exact costs.
Checking a property
Use the Parish's application and sealed-bid procedures alongside the session notice. Match the assessor geographical number and legal description, then confirm costs, delivery instructions and current status with the Adjudicated Property office through the Parish page. The November list applies to that session, not a standing inventory.
