Provision
§ 9:5609RS 9:5609Provision

A recorded contract to buy or sell an immovable stops having recordation effect after one year unless a party reinscribes it; repeated reinscriptions can extend the effect. If a lis pendens is filed for a suit to enforce the recorded contract, reinscription is not required. After the effect ends, the recorder must cancel the contract from the records on written request of any person.

§5609. Contracts to buy or sell; peremption of the effect of recordation; prescription for actions A. The effect of recording in the conveyance records of a contract to buy or sell an immovable shall cease one year from the date of its recordation, unless prior thereto one of the parties to the contract causes it to be reinscribed in the same manner as the reinscription of a mortgage as provided by Article 3362 of the Civil Code. Such a reinscription shall continue the effect of recordation for one year and its effect may be renewed from time to time thereafter in the same manner. Except as provided in Paragraph B, the effect of recordation shall thereafter cease upon the lapse of any continuous twelve-month period during which the contract is not reinscribed. B. The filing of a notice of lis pendens of a suit to enforce a recorded contract to buy or sell the immovable that is then effective as provided in Paragraph A shall continue the effect of recordation in the manner and to the extent prescribed by Articles 3751 through 3753 of the Code of Civil Procedure, and reinscription of the contract shall thereafter not be required or have effect. C. A contract recorded pursuant to Paragraph A shall be canceled from the records by the recorder upon the written request of any person after the effect of its inscription has ceased as herein provided or as provided by Article 3753 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Acts 2006, No. 701, §1, eff. Aug. 15, 2007.
