Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 38, § 1663. Advance payment of tax in full

Any land owner owning lands or other property assessed for taxes under the provisions of this Part, shall have the privilege of paying the total tax assessment provided under R.S. 38:1631 to the secretary-treasurer of the board of commissioners at any time on or before a date to be fixed by the board of commissioners, and the amount to be paid shall be the full amount of the tax levied, less any amount added thereto to meet interest. The board of commissioners shall fix the time after which the privilege of paying the total tax assessment shall not exist, which shall not be subsequent to the date of any bonds that may be issued and shall give notice of the date by publication once a week for two consecutive weeks in the manner provided in R.S. 38:1616. When the tax assessment has been paid, the secretary-treasurer of the board shall enter upon the drainage tax record opposite each tract for which payment is made the words “paid in full”, and the tax assessment shall be deemed satisfied. The secretary-treasurer of the board of commissioners shall also make or cause to be made the same entry opposite each tract for which payment is made in the table included in the certificate filed in the office of the clerk of court and recorder of mortgages, under the provisions of R.S. 38:1632.
