New Orleans officials are urging property owners with outstanding taxes to settle their delinquent accounts ahead of the city’s annual property tax sale, scheduled for October 21 to October 23, 2025. This tax sale will involve delinquent property taxes from the years 2022 through 2024. Property owners who fail to pay their taxes by the close of business on October 23, 2025 risk losing their properties.
The Bureau of Treasury has emphasized the importance of addressing any overdue property taxes before the sale. Property owners must ensure all outstanding amounts are paid to avoid complications that could lead to property foreclosure. In particular, any delinquent taxes from years prior to 2022 must be cleared before payments applied to more current taxes will be accepted.
Payment Guidelines
According to city officials, to prevent processing delays, after October 14, 2025, the Bureau of Treasury will only accept payments in the form of cash or cashier’s checks. Property owners can make payments either in person at City Hall, Room 1W40, or via mail. For mailed payments, taxpayers are encouraged to use the scannable bill and envelope included in their tax sale notice. Payments should be directed to the Bureau of Treasury, Department #165025, P.O. Box 62600, New Orleans, LA 70162-2600.
If taxpayers do not have their original bill stubs, they should mail their payments to 1300 Perdido St., Room 1W40, New Orleans, LA 70112.
Impact of the Tax Sale
The annual property tax sale is a critical procedure for the city of New Orleans to recoup overdue property taxes. During the sale, buyers can purchase liens on properties with unpaid tax obligations. If property owners do not redeem their lands within a specific time frame, it could potentially lead to property transfers to the lien buyers.
Important Upcoming Changes
Support for Taxpayers

City officials are encouraging affected property owners to act quickly in order to retain their properties and avoid potential legal issues stemming from unpaid taxes.
The upcoming annual tax sale presents a significant moment for property owners to address delinquent taxes and avoid consequences that could arise from the failure to do so. By making payments in a timely manner, property owners can mitigate risk and secure their property ownership.
