Jefferson Parish is shifting into digital auction mode once again, with its online surplus property sale starting tomorrow, February 12, 2026, and will keep going until February 26, 2026, in partnership with GovDeals. Items up for grabs include a mix of vehicles and equipment, notably trucks, vans, buses, zero-turn mowers, trailers, and small equipment which means locals have a chance at snagging something sizable or just a gadget or two, as announced on the Jefferson Parish's official website.
Bidders wishing to get a real-world glimpse at what's on offer can do so by visiting the Jefferson Parish Surplus Yard at 920 David Drive, Metairie, LA, from February 23 to February 25 between 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., which gives them just three days to scope out their potential bids before auctions end. Those with the highest bids by February 26 will then have a week to pick up their newfound possessions; the Parish hopes that this window gives ample time for winners to make arrangements for the retrieval of their goods, as detailed by the Jefferson Parish.
First-time auction participants must go through the formality of completing a Bidder Registration Form to be in the running, the Parish's rules make it clear that employees of Jefferson Parish departments or agencies and their immediate family members are barred from partaking in the auction, for the sake of maintaining transparency and avoiding any conflict of interest.
Any on-the-fence bidders or those unfamiliar with online auctions can likely find solace and answers in the frequently asked questions section on the GovDeals website; Jefferson Parish's site suggests tapping into that resource for detailed insights into the process. For those keen to keep up with the happenings and updates from Jefferson Parish not just about the auction but more broadly, the Parish encourages residents to follow along on its social media channels like @JeffParishGov or subscribe to alerts by texting JPALERT or JPNOTICIAS to 888-777 for English and Spanish notifications, respectively.
