La. Civ. Code Ann. art. 781 (2026)

Art. 781. Termination; liberative prescription

           No action for injunction or for damages on account of the violation of a building restriction may be brought after two years from the commencement of a noticeable violation. A violation is noticeable when an apparent activity has occurred on the immovable in violation of the building restriction. The recordation of an instrument that provides for a violation of the building restriction does not constitute a noticeable violation. After the lapse of this period, the immovable on which the violation occurred is freed of the restriction that has been violated.

           Acts 1977, No.170, §1; Acts 2024, No. 184, §1, eff. August 1, 2024.
