Leasing adjudicated property; use of income to pay taxes or assessments

The political subdivision, through its tax collector, upon taking or being placed in possession by judgment of court may, without the necessity of public letting, lease the adjudicated property on commercially reasonable terms and collect rentals. The political subdivision shall apply the rentals first to the payment of all costs of court incurred in the proceeding. Thereafter, all rental income shall be applied against any taxes, charges imposed pursuant to R.S. 33:1236, or paving or other local improvement assessments due against the property. When all of the obligations have been paid in full, the political subdivision shall issue a proper certificate of redemption and surrender its possession of the property.
