Successions in Tangipahoa Parish

Tangipahoa Parish is a growing Florida-Parishes parish north of Lake Pontchartrain, with Amite City as its parish seat and Hammond as its largest city. Probate and successions are filed in the 21st Judicial District Court at the Tangipahoa Parish Courthouse, 110 North Bay Street, Amite. The 21st JDC serves Livingston, St. Helena, and Tangipahoa Parishes; Tangipahoa matters are handled at the Amite courthouse.

Tangipahoa successions reflect a mix of agriculture and steady suburban growth — Ponchatoula is the self-styled “Strawberry Capital of the World,” and Southeastern Louisiana University anchors Hammond.
