Selling a flood damage boat in Louisiana

Legal considerations for flood damage vehicles in Louisiana

Louisiana requires a "Flood" brand on the title for vehicles damaged by flooding. Due to the state's hurricane exposure, Louisiana has enhanced flood disclosure requirements under Louisiana Revised Statute 32:707.2.

Louisiana Revised Statute 32:707.2 requires disclosure of flood damage on the title and in all sales documentation. Non-disclosure is a criminal offense.

  4. Obtain a vehicle history report showing flood events

Buyer warning

Louisiana flood vehicles are particularly common after hurricane seasons. Verify the vehicle history carefully and inspect for hidden water intrusion, salt corrosion, and electrical damage.
