Running a DeRidder property search step by step
If a tract near New Llano isn't addressed, zoom in from the nearest road and click inside it.
Pulling up a parcel
Go first to the Vernon Parish parcel viewer; it includes each tax parcel in the parish, Hornbeck included. For property near Rosepine, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. Copy the parcel ID while you have it open; every clerk in the parish uses it to find the file.
Limits of the parcel data
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not measured on the ground, so the edge of a yard near Hornbeck often sits a few yards off the line on screen. If the land is near New Llano, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
City limits and county records

Which office to call
