§2235. Authority of the political subdivision to establish servitudes over adjudicated property; procedure

A. The political subdivision may maintain apparent servitudes over adjudicated property and may, after the redemptive period, declare the existence of any public servitude as though by destination of the owner, regardless of whether the servitude is apparent or nonapparent.

B. A public servitude by destination of the owning political subdivision may be declared in writing upon authorization by ordinance duly enacted after public promulgation. The ordinance and act may be filed with the recorder of conveyances of the parish and may show the name of any prior owners of the property for indexing as vendor.

C. If a servitude has been declared in accordance with this Section and the property is redeemed, the owning political subdivision shall compensate the redeeming owner for the value of the servitude declared. The compensation shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Louisiana Constitution. Value shall be determined as of the date on which the ordinance and act are filed as required by Subsection B of this Section.
