LAC 70:XVII.301. Policy

A. It shall be the policy of the Department of Transportation and Development to require a $100 processing fee from any person or entity desiring to purchase state-owned properties. When a request for purchase is received, an application form will be sent to the requestor requiring the $100 processing fee, together with acquisition data, map or survey, and other pertinent information concerning the desired property. If the property in question is approved for disposal, this $100 processing fee will be credited toward the purchase price of the property. In the event the disposal is not approved or a sale is not consummated, the $100 processing fee is non-refundable. B. Purpose. The requirement of a processing fee is necessary to cover the cost of research and processing involved in disposal of immovable property.
