What Concordia Parish Deed Records Cover
The Concordia Parish Clerk maintains two sets of real property records: the conveyance index and the mortgage index. Conveyance records cover all transfers of ownership including acts of sale, cash sales, donations, exchanges, partitions, long-term leases, oil and gas leases, royalty deeds, rights of way, easements, and plat maps. The mortgage index covers mortgages, mortgage assignments, releases and satisfactions, judgments, tax liens, mechanic's liens, and UCC financing statements.
Louisiana Civil Code Article 3338 requires recording to make documents effective against third parties.

Under Louisiana Civil Code Article 2742, once recorded, documents become permanent parish archives and are not returned to the filer.
