Effective July 1, 2001, Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Revised Article 9 will be adopted in Louisiana. Acceptable filing forms and filing fees have been amended as follows:
Standard UCC filing forms:
Louisiana Approved UCC-1 Financing Statement, Louisiana approved UCC-3 Amendment Form, the National Approved UCC-1 Financing Statement, and the National Approved Amendment Form.
All Louisiana filing forms approved prior to 7/1/01 will continue to be accepted as standard until 1/1/02; however, we do encourage the use of the 7/1/01 version of the Louisiana approved forms. Any other UCC forms will be accepted as non-standard and will be charged an additional $15 non-standard fee.
