Built for Louisiana closings
If you run a title agency, escrow company or real estate law practice in Louisiana and need a website built — or your current one rebuilt — this page covers what we build into a Louisiana title company website, the calculators and forms that come with it, and what it costs. Every site we design is built for the title industry only, and every Louisiana build starts from the rules below.
Louisiana is the country’s civil-law state, and it shows at closing: property is conveyed by an act of sale passed before a notary, closings are conducted by notaries and attorneys, and the recording office is the parish clerk of court. Title insurance rates are filed with and approved by the Louisiana Department of Insurance. A website template built for the other forty-nine states gets the vocabulary wrong on the first page.
There is no state real estate transfer tax, which surprises buyers from Texas’s neighbors and the Northeast alike. Orleans Parish is the exception, with a flat documentary transaction tax on recorded instruments. Recording fees vary by parish. The site should know all of that, and say it in Louisiana’s own terms.
- Approved premium rates configured to your underwriter
- No state transfer tax; Orleans Parish documentary transaction tax applied only there
- Clerk of court recording fees by parish
- Order intake built for notary and attorney closings
- Local SEO by parish and city, from Metairie to Mandeville to Lafayette
- Seller net sheets accurate to Louisiana customs
Calculators built for Louisiana, fitted to your site
This is the part we specialize in. Every calculator we put on a Louisiana title website is configured to Louisiana’s own numbers — rates filed with and approved by the Louisiana Department of Insurance, clerk of court recording fees by parish, the Orleans Parish documentary transaction tax that applies nowhere else, and a state transfer tax line that correctly reads zero — not a national average with the state name swapped in. We build each one to match your branding and drop it into your site’s layout, so it looks like it was always there, not like a widget bolted on.
Pick the tools that fit how you close in Louisiana. Here are the six we recommend most for Louisiana agencies; there are fourteen in total.
Title Insurance Calculator
Owner's & lender's premiums at Louisiana's approved rates.
Open calculator →Closing Cost Calculator
Full buyer/seller breakdown — title, taxes, recording, and settlement fees.
Open calculator →Seller Net Sheet
What the seller walks away with after commission, payoff & closing costs.
Open calculator →Buyer Cash-to-Close
Everything a buyer needs at the table — down payment, prepaids, and closing costs.
Open calculator →Contract Deadline Calculator
Every deadline in the Louisiana purchase contract — inspection, financing, title, closing — as calendar dates from the effective date.
Open calculator →Property Tax Proration
Splits the year's property taxes between buyer and seller as of the closing date.
Open calculator →Built for Louisiana, not for the common-law states
Acts of sale and notaries
Louisiana conveys by authentic act before a notary. The site speaks Louisiana’s civil-law vocabulary because your clients do.
Parishes, not counties
Sixty-four parishes, each with its own clerk of court. Location pages and recording fees are built by parish.
No state transfer tax
Louisiana levies none. Orleans Parish charges a flat documentary transaction tax; the calculator applies it only there.
Forms that do the back-and-forth for you
Built into your Louisiana site so agents, lenders, buyers and sellers submit everything online — no email tag, no paper chase. Every submission comes back to you as a completed PDF, ready to drop into the file in whatever title software you use. Branded to you and mobile-friendly. These six are the ones Louisiana agencies use most; there are eleven in total.
Submit a Contract
Clients upload a signed purchase contract and any addenda — you open the file and start title work right away.
Open form →Buyer Information Sheet
Buyers complete intake online and you receive it as a PDF — or they download it to fill out by hand.
Open form →Seller Information Sheet
Sellers complete intake online and you receive a PDF — or download it to complete on paper.
Open form →Payoff Authorization
Sellers and refinancers e-sign to authorize a payoff request — so net sheets are accurate and prior liens clear at closing.
Open form →Open a Title Order
Agents and lenders open a new file in one step — property, parties, lender, and closing date. No back-and-forth emails.
Open form →Secure Document Upload
Clients upload IDs, payoffs, and sensitive documents through an encrypted portal.
Open form →Speak Louisiana, or the site reads as out-of-state
Louisiana agents and clients say act of sale, not deed; parish, not county; clerk of court, not recorder; notary, not escrow officer. A title website that uses common-law vocabulary throughout is telling every visitor that it was built somewhere else, and in a state whose closing culture is as distinct as Louisiana’s, that costs trust before the calculator is ever opened.
We write the Louisiana site in Louisiana’s terms: the order form asks about the act of sale, the location pages are organized by parish, the recording fee table is the clerk of court’s, and the closing process page explains what a notary does at the table. The calculators use your underwriter’s approved rates and put the transfer tax line at zero everywhere except Orleans Parish, where the documentary transaction tax applies.
None of that is decoration. It is what makes a St. Tammany Parish Realtor believe the site knows how their deal will close.
New Orleans, Baton Rouge, the Northshore and Acadiana
Orleans and Jefferson parishes are one metro with two very different closing environments: the city’s documentary transaction tax, older title histories and a large share of investor and short-term-rental transactions on one side; suburban volume on the other. St. Tammany on the Northshore is a relocation market fed by the city and by out-of-state buyers. East Baton Rouge is the capital, steady and referral-driven. Lafayette and Acadiana have their own agents, their own lenders and their own French-inflected vocabulary.
Each of those markets gets its own page, written for it, with the calculators configured to its parish and the same order form throughout. Shreveport, Lake Charles, Houma and Monroe get theirs when you serve them.
The result is one Louisiana site with a front door in every parish you close in, and none of them reading like a template.

Louisiana title website questions
Does Louisiana have a real estate transfer tax?
No state transfer tax. Orleans Parish levies a flat documentary transaction tax on recorded instruments, which our calculator applies only for Orleans Parish property. Recording fees are charged by each parish clerk of court.
Who conducts closings in Louisiana?
Notaries and attorneys, who pass the act of sale. We build the site around that workflow rather than an escrow model, and we use Louisiana’s civil-law vocabulary throughout.
How are Louisiana title rates regulated?
Rates are filed with and approved by the Louisiana Department of Insurance. The calculators are configured to your underwriter’s approved schedule.
Who pays for the owner's policy in Louisiana?
The buyer customarily pays for the owner’s and lender’s policies. The calculators default to that custom and can be switched per deal.
Are location pages built by parish?
Yes. Each parish and city you serve gets its own page, and the recording fee calculator uses that parish’s clerk of court fees.
Which Louisiana markets can you target?
New Orleans and Jefferson Parish, the Northshore, Baton Rouge, Lafayette and Acadiana, Shreveport, Lake Charles, Houma and any other parish you close in.
How much does a title company website cost in Louisiana?
Adding the Louisiana calculators and online forms to a site you already have is $75 a month. A custom 25-page title company website with every calculator, forms, hosting and local SEO is $150 a month; a 50-page build with monthly content and ads management is $399. No setup fee and no long-term contract.
Can you rebuild our existing Louisiana title agency website?
Yes. Most of our Louisiana builds replace an older site. We migrate your content, keep your URLs so you do not lose rankings, add the Louisiana-configured calculators and forms, and launch on secure, ADA-compliant hosting. If you would rather keep your current site, the Add-Ons plan places the tools on it without a rebuild.
Orleans Parish documentary transaction tax under City Code Chapter 150, Article VI. Verify current parish fees and approved premiums before relying on any figure.
