Who runs Louisiana's unclaimed safe-deposit-box auction, how often it happens, where to bid, and how to check whether something is yours before it sells. Status: banks sell the contents, no state sale. Sources checked Oct 19, 2026.
Next sale
In Louisiana the bank, not the state, disposes of an abandoned box. State law lets the bank sell the contents through an auctioneer, pawn broker, coin or collectibles dealer, jeweler or an online auction service, with minimum-price rules for higher-value items.
So there's no state sale to watch. If anything changes, our free alerts will say so.
