Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers and foresters serve LaSalle County?

8 businesses are listed for LaSalle County: 1 consulting forester and 7 buyers, loggers and mills. 6 of them have offices in the county.

How much is my timber worth in LaSalle County?

Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.

Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in LaSalle County?

You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.

Do I need a permit to cut timber in Louisiana?

Louisiana has no statewide permit and no notification requirement to harvest timber on your own land — the state's own list of forestry licences and permits covers arborists, not timber harvesting. What Louisiana law does require is a contract. Anyone conducting a timber harvest meant to cut five acres or more of timberland must have a written contract or agreement with the owner or the purchaser, a duty the Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry enforces with civil penalties of up to five thousand dollars per violation. That written contract is also your protection, because cutting standing timber without the owner's consent exposes the cutter to three times the fair market value of the trees plus attorney fees, whether the cutting was deliberate or a good-faith mistake. On water quality, Louisiana works through recommended practice rather than a permit: the state publishes Recommended Forestry Best Management Practices for Louisiana as field guidance to keep a harvest clear of water-quality trouble, and following them is the norm even though they are recommended rather than a licence step. The short version for a landowner: there is no form to file, but for five acres or more, get the agreement in writing before any tree comes down.

No price series is published for LaSalle County on its own. Louisiana's latest published stumpage figures (LSU AgCenter, Q4 2024) put oak sawtimber at $43.05 per ton. What your own timber brings depends on the species, the size and amount of it, and how far it is from a mill. A timber cruise by a forester settles it.
