No. 88-C-0705.

532 So.2d 1367 (1988)

Herbert B. HARRIS, et al. v. The ESTATE OF Jo Anne FULLER and Sheriff Laymon Godwin.

Supreme Court of Louisiana.

October 31, 1988.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Curtis W. Cary, Cary & Cary, Shreveport, for applicant.

Neal G. Johnson, Jones & Johnson, Monroe, for respondents.


COLE, Justice.

The sole issue presented is whether the three year period for redemption of immovable property sold in a tax sale is interrupted by the tax debtor's continued possession of the property. The court of appeal held La.R.S. 47:2221, as amended by Act 557 of 1978, allows the tax debtor's continued possession of immovable property sold for nonpayment of taxes to suspend the running of the three year period allowed for redemption of the property.
