Tangipahoa Parish Residents Directory Land Records

The Clerk of Court runs an online land records eSearch system. This is a key part of the Tangipahoa Parish residents directory if you need to trace property owners or find who is tied to a piece of land. One thing to know right away: you cannot search by street address in this system. The Clerk does not index by address. You must search by name, book and page, instrument number, or property description. If you need to look up a property by its address, use the Assessor's site instead.

The land records eSearch portal is where you log in to search Tangipahoa Parish land and mortgage records online.

A guest account for the residents directory is free but only gives you access to the index. You can see names and filing dates, but no document images. To view the actual scanned documents, you need a paid plan. A 24-hour pass costs $20. A 30-day pass is $40. A full year runs $300. These same tiers apply to the criminal and civil e-inquiry system as well. Recording fees for new documents start at $110.50 for one to five pages and go up to $210.50 for six to twenty-five pages.

Note: The free guest account is good for quick name checks, but you will need a paid plan to pull actual document images.
