What Happens If You Fall Behind on Property Taxes?
In Louisiana, property taxes are not something you can ignore. After just one missed payment, the city can initiate collection proceedings. That includes:
- A delinquency notice mailed to your home
- Added penalties and interest every month
- A tax lien recorded against your property
- And finally, a tax sale auction
Once your home is scheduled for tax sale, you risk losing ownership completely. The city doesn’t need your permission to sell it. They’ll notify you, list the property, and allow outside investors to purchase the rights.
You might still technically own the house during the redemption period, but if you can't repay the full amount plus interest and penalties, your ownership is gone. If the auction happens, you receive nothing.
Sell Before It’s Too Late
The better option? Sell your house before the government takes it.

We understand the legal process in Louisiana and move quickly to give you control over the outcome. When we buy houses, we focus on one thing: getting you to close the day before your property ends up on an auction list.

Fire Damage? Tenants? We’ll Still Buy It
Many homeowners assume their property is "unsellable" if it’s in poor condition, fire-damaged, or occupied by difficult tenants. That’s just not true.
We buy houses that need major repairs, have been burned in a fire, or are tied up in rental agreements. In fact, we created two in-depth guides for sellers facing these exact situations:
- If your house has been through a fire, read how to sell a fire-damaged home in Louisiana.
- If you're a landlord, check out how to sell a rental property in New Orleans - even with tenants.
You don’t need to evict, repair, or even explain. Just tell us what’s going on and we’ll handle the rest.

Step 2: Receive a Fair All-Cash Offer
We evaluate your home and deliver a written offer that includes tax payoff, closing costs, and your final cash amount.
Step 3: Close on Your Terms

A Real Seller’s Story
"I was weeks away from the tax sale and didn’t know what to do. Spouses Who Buy Houses bought my house, paid off the lien, and gave me enough cash to relocate and start over."
This is a common story in New Orleans. Sellers fall behind for one reason or another - job loss, divorce, medical debt and before they know it, the city starts threatening auction. Spouses Who Buy Houses steps in when it matters most and brings a fast, professional solution.
Why Delaying Is a Costly Mistake
Putting off a decision is the biggest mistake we see sellers make.
If your property gets auctioned, you lose it for good. You don’t receive the leftover proceeds. You don’t get an extension. You get a final notice then it’s gone.
Compare that to selling:
- You get a fair all-cash offer
- Your tax debt is resolved
- You avoid foreclosure or eviction
- You don’t need to fix or clean anything
- You close in as little as 7 days
We buy houses from New Orleans homeowners who thought it was too late until they called us.
