TO: St. John Clerk of Court Customers
On June 23,2014, Act No.826 was signed by Governor Jindal, which law allows for the establishment of a statewide portal for internet users to have remote access to Clerks of Court throughout the state. The portal will allow users to search the mortgage and conveyance indices of all participating clerks at no charge. After the user searches the indices on the statewide portal, if they find a record that they would like to access, the portal will connect the user to the website of the specific Clerk of Court.
St. John Clerk’s office has decided to participate. The legislature approved a fee of $5.00 per recording on all land documents recorded in the office of the participating clerks, which will go towards the design. construction, administration and maintenance of the statewide portal. This fee will be implemented by all participating Clerks of Court on September I. 2014.
Thank you for your patronage and I appreciate your cooperation in implementing this change. Should you or your staff have any questions regarding the new fee, please call Felicia Feist, Chief Deputy and Recording Department Supervisor,
at 985-497-3331 ext. 2104.
