HB 1080 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

PROPERTY/VACANT SUBSTAND: Provides relative to condemned commercial property in the city of Shreveport

This bill allows the city of Shreveport to sue property owners who have been ordered to demolish condemned commercial buildings. The law gives the city the authority to file a lawsuit compelling owners to tear down the property after they have been given a set time to do so voluntarily and pay any outstanding liens. If the owner fails to comply, the city can recover court costs, attorney fees, and expenses related to locating the owner and enforcing liens. The specific time limits for demolition and lien payment will be established by a city ordinance.
