§2287. Time in which to file an action for nullity; defenses
A. Any action to annul a tax sale on grounds of a redemption nullity shall be brought before the earlier of:
(1)Six months after a person is duly notified using a notice, other than the notice provided in R.S. 47:2156 that is sent between the time that the redemptive period ends and five years after the date of the recordation of the tax sale certificate.
(2)If a person is duly notified more than five years after the date of the recordation of the tax sale certificate, sixty days after the person is duly notified.
B. An action to annul a tax sale on grounds of a payment nullity shall be brought before the later of:
(1)Five years after the recordation of the tax sale certificate.
(2)If the person bringing the action was not duly notified at least sixty days before the end of that five-year period, then within sixty days after the date that the person was duly notified.
C. When a nullity is asserted as a reconventional demand in a quiet title action or as an intervention in a quiet title action or monition proceeding, the nullity shall be asserted within the time specified for a reconventional demand or intervention in the action or proceeding.
D. To the extent the interest of the person asserting a nullity has not been terminated, or if the property remains subject to the interest pursuant to this Chapter, including without limitation R.S. 47:2121(C)(2) or other applicable law, such fact shall be an absolute defense to the action of nullity.
