This Is Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. This is a privately operated reference. We cannot retrieve a file, issue a certified copy, verify who occupies an address, or change a government roll. Send those requests to the custodian responsible for the record. Call 911 in an emergency. Contact local law enforcement if you believe someone is stalking or harassing you.
Where to Request a Record
Use the route that matches the Calcasieu Parish record you need:
- Recorded deeds, mortgages, district-court files, marriages, and successions: contact the Calcasieu Parish Clerk of Court.
- Property ownership and assessment details: contact the Calcasieu Parish Assessor, not the Clerk or this private site.
- Who owns or appears along a street: use the Calcasieu Parish street directory to identify the right official source.
- Older directory volumes: use the Calcasieu Parish city directory collections and library contacts.
- A record that is not online: direct a Louisiana Public Records Law request to the agency that has custody of that exact record.
Calcasieu Parish Clerk of Court
Historic Calcasieu Courthouse
1000 Ryan Street, Lake Charles, LA 70601
337-437-3550
Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
The Clerk is the main custodian for recorded instruments and 14th Judicial District Court files. Send property-value or tax-roll corrections to the Assessor. Municipal records belong with the city department that created them, and Louisiana state records belong with the relevant state agency. Naming the record, date range, and responsible office helps the custodian route a request.
