How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses

More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
Lenders usually foreclose through the 19th Judicial District Court by executory process, and the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office conducts the sheriff's sale. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
The East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff collects property taxes and holds the parish tax sale, where liens on delinquent property are auctioned.
More on behind on property taxes →Code violations and city orders
The consolidated City-Parish government handles blight, overgrown lots and unsafe structures, and can bring cases before a blight hearing and lien the property.
More on code violations and city orders →Tired of being a landlord
Baton Rouge City Court hears evictions inside the city limits; outside them, cases go to the parish's justice of the peace courts. You can sell with tenants in place — paying, behind, or mid-eviction.
More on tired of being a landlord →No fees or commissions, no showings or repairs, and buyers never see your contact details until you choose one. How DealSherpa works.
Selling for cash in Baton Rouge: questions
My Baton Rouge house flooded in 2016 and was never fully repaired. Is it too far gone to sell?
No. Half-finished flood repairs are common in East Baton Rouge Parish, and cash buyers make offers on them. Disclose the flooding and any insurance or FEMA claims you know of, and the buyer will price in the remaining work.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Baton Rouge?
Louisiana sales are signed before a notary, usually at a title company, and the closing pays off the mortgage, the parish taxes and any recorded liens before you're paid. Once you accept an offer, most East Baton Rouge Parish cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
