Before you list
We'll walk through it with you before your home goes live.
Required for every sale
You fill out Louisiana's standard form, sharing what you know about the home: roof, plumbing, electrical, flooding and more. It isn't a warranty, just an honest record.

Property taxes
Buyers compare tax bills, so it helps to know your numbers. Ascension assesses homes at 10% of market value, and homestead removes the first $7,500 of assessed value. In Ascension, homestead isn't automatic. Owners apply online.
Homeowners 65+, veterans rated 50% or more disabled, and totally disabled owners can freeze their assessment if income is under $102,700 (2026). Disabled veterans also get an added exemption on top of homestead.

Flood
Gonzales buyers ask about flood zones and insurance, and the disclosure form asks too.

Timing
Nationally, homes listed in March sold for the biggest premium over value (10.7%), with April and May close behind. Gonzales moves on its own schedule, so we check how many homes are for sale near you this month before picking a date.

Straight answers
Not legal or tax advice; ask us about your situation.
The median was 26 days on market over July through September 2026 (ROAM MLS). Your home's price, condition and location within Gonzales can move that either way.
ROAM MLS, July through September 2026
Yes, and the form asks about it four separate ways — past flooding, flood claims, flood insurance and federal aid — which is where sellers get caught. Answering only the first one is not answering the question. Ascension Parish Floodplain Management holds the permit and elevation records for your address, so a guess that contradicts the parish file is a guess with a paper trail. Answer from what you actually know, and give the buyer the disclosure before they make an offer.
The full version, including what transfers to your buyer, is in the flood zones and insurance guide.
