Find Livingston Parish Residents Directory

Livingston Parish sits east of Baton Rouge and has grown fast in the last two decades. The Livingston Parish residents directory draws from public records held by the Clerk of Court, the Parish Assessor, the Sheriff's Office, and the Registrar of Voters. You can search for people by name in land records, court case files, property rolls, and voter lists. Most of these searches start at the parish seat in Livingston, where the courthouse and key offices share space along Government Boulevard. Both paid online tools and free in-person visits give you ways to look up residents in this parish.

Livingston Parish Clerk of Court Records

The Livingston Parish Clerk of Court is the main source for public records in this parish. This office holds land records, civil case files, criminal case data, and more. Records go back to 1875. The Clerk sits at the Livingston Parish Courthouse, 20300 Government Blvd., Livingston, LA 70754. Call (225) 686-2216 for general questions. A toll-free line is also open at (877) 854-1579. Staff can help you look up records at no charge, but copies cost $1 per page. Under R.S. 44:1, these are public records and any person can ask to see them. The Clerk cannot tell you who owns a piece of land by its address. They can only search by name. If you need to look up a property by street address, you have to go to the Assessor's office instead.

One thing worth noting is the fraud alert system. The Clerk now offers fraud alert notifications for land records. You can register up to five names per email address. If someone files a document in one of those names, you get an alert right away. This is a free tool and a good way to watch for unauthorized filings tied to your name or a family member's name in the Livingston Parish residents directory.

The Clerk of Court website shows office details, forms, and links to online record search tools for the Livingston Parish residents directory.

From this site you can find links to the eSearch portal, get forms for criminal record checks, and reach each department by phone or mail.

Note: The Clerk of Court is not allowed to give title opinions on land in Louisiana, as only a licensed attorney can do that. Still, the records held here form the backbone of the residents directory for property-related searches.

Livingston Parish Residents Directory Online Search

The Clerk of Court runs an eSearch portal for paid online access. This is where you go to search names in land records and civil case files from the Livingston Parish residents directory. The system has tiered pricing. A 24-hour land records pass costs $20. A 48-hour civil records pass runs $100. If you need regular access, the annual land records plan is $125, and the combined land and civil annual plan costs $450. These subscriptions let you search by name, pull up filing dates, and view scanned document images when they are on file.

The statewide eClerks Louisiana portal is another way to search. It is free and covers multiple parishes across the state. If you just need a quick name check, start there before paying for an eSearch subscription. The eClerks tool pulls data from participating clerks of court around Louisiana, so you can search Livingston Parish records alongside records from other parishes in one place.

Under R.S. 44:31, custodians of public records must give access within three business days of a written request. If you run into issues getting records through the online tools, you can submit a formal written request to the Clerk's office and they are required by law to respond.

The Livingston Parish Assessor's office keeps a free online property search tool. This is the fastest way to find out who owns a home or piece of land in the parish. You can search by owner name or by property address. The Clerk of Court can only search land records by name, so the Assessor is the one to call when you have an address but not a name. Each result shows the assessed value, legal description, and the current owner on file.

Assessor Jeffrey Taylor serves the parish from 29940 South Magnolia Street in Livingston. The phone number is (225) 686-7278. Office hours are Monday through Thursday, 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. The office is closed on Fridays. Taylor helped put the parish's first property ownership map in place and cleaned up the tax rolls to give local districts more accurate data. That mapping work makes it easier to match parcels to owners across the Livingston Parish residents directory.

The Assessor's property search site is where you can look up land and home ownership records for the Livingston Parish residents directory at no cost.

Keep in mind the Assessor does not collect taxes. The Sheriff handles tax collection in Livingston Parish. If you need to pay property taxes or check a tax bill, contact the Sheriff's Office instead.

Sheriff's Office Records for Livingston Parish

The Sheriff's Office website has details on inmate search, tax payments, and sheriff sales in Livingston Parish.

Sheriff sales are another public record tied to the residents directory. All sales use oral bidding at the Livingston Parish Courthouse at 10 AM on designated Wednesdays. The terms are cash to the last and highest bidder. You must come to the sale ready to pay your full bid price on the spot. These sale listings name property owners and can help you track changes in who holds land in the parish. Under R.S. 44:32, public bodies must respond to records requests within three business days, so if you need sale records or other documents from the Sheriff's Office, you can submit a formal request.

Note: The Sheriff is the tax collector for Livingston Parish, not the Assessor.
