Surplus Real Property Auction Online
October 6-9, 2017

The Parish purchased storm damaged housing from residents with Community Block Grant Funding available after Hurricane Gustav.  These properties can be resold and rebuilt with some limitations as to the method of building.  Most of these properties were put up for auction last year. Those that didn’t sell or had been reserved for another purpose are now up for auction through the Central Auction House.   The links are offered below, but to see the conditions, required documents, and the appraisal, the bidders must register.  Registration is free.  If you have constituents interested in these properties, please forward this information so that they can bid.
