Getting the Lincoln Parish list
We found no published excess-proceeds list for Lincoln Parish. Ask the Lincoln Parish Sheriff's Office (tax collector) for its list of excess bids or excess proceeds held from tax lien foreclosure and adjudicated-property sales, and the parish sheriff's civil division (in Orleans, the Civil Sheriff) for sheriff's-sale surplus; both are public records under the Louisiana Public Records Law (R.S. 44:1 et seq.). Since 2026 Louisiana auctions tax liens instead of tax sale title; when a lien or adjudicated property is later sold for more than is owed, the tax collector holds the excess, notifies interested parties, and pays it on an affidavit claim filed within one year of the notice. Surplus from a sheriff's foreclosure sale is paid to the debtor or deposited in the court registry if disputed.
