Northeast of Amite
About five acres of rural land
Agricultural ground, with part of it in a mapped flood zone (zone A). We checked the flood map and which utilities reached the road before we made an offer, then closed through a title company.

If you own land around Amite and want to sell without listing it, we buy directly. Amite City has been the parish seat since Tangipahoa Parish was created in 1869, so the courthouse that holds the parish's land records and handles its successions is right in town. Land here has generally sold for less per acre than around Hammond, and the Tangipahoa River bottoms just east of town carry real flood limits. Both of those belong in an honest offer. We've bought northeast of Amite, and we're about an hour away in Mandeville.

Selling here, specifically
What’s different about a Amite sale.
The records are in town
Deeds, mortgages and succession filings for the whole parish are kept by the Tangipahoa Parish Clerk of Court on North Bay Street. If you're not sure whose name your land is in, the answer is there, and we'll pull it for you.
Successions at the 21st JDC
The 21st Judicial District Court serves Tangipahoa, Livingston and St. Helena Parishes and handles successions for land here. A succession can be opened years after a death, and it often has to be before the land can sell.
Behind on parish taxes
In Louisiana, the sheriff collects property taxes, and unpaid taxes can end in a tax sale. Land that's behind is usually still sellable. The taxes typically come out of the proceeds at closing, so you don't pay them up front.
Fewer buyers this far north
Listed acreage around Amite can take months to find a buyer, because fewer commuters shop this far up I-55. A direct sale with clean title usually closes in one to three weeks.
Track record
The same buyer, town after town.
I just purchased a piece of property from Mr. Harry. He was very professional during the negotiation process and made the closing so easy and quick. I witnessed honesty and integrity first hand!
