CivicSource plans free session for investors

Parish residents will have the opportunity to learn how to invest in tax-delinquent assets by attending a free, upcoming information session next week put on by CivicSource.

The Jeff Davis Police Jury is partnering with CivicSource to hold a community information session on investing in adjudicated properties at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 23 at the Police Jury Meeting Room, located at 304 N. State Street. The event is free and open to the public and includes comprehensive training on all aspects of purchasing adjudicated properties, including how to acquire title insurance.

All adjudicated properties for sale at CivicSource.com went unsold in a previous tax certificate sale. Taxing authorities across Southwest Louisiana, including the City of Lake Charles, Acadia Parish and Cameron Parish auction these tax-delinquent properties online through CivicSource.com. By hosting the sale online, bidders who would normally be unable to attend the auction in person are able to participate from their homes or places of business. The sales return blighted, abandoned or tax-delinquent properties to commerce while regenerating significant annual tax revenues to the parish.

Visit CivicSource.com to view a complete listing of qualified, adjudicated properties or to nominate properties for auction through a deposit of $850. The properties are listed for $0 plus closing costs. Both commercial and residential properties are available for purchase.
