Abandoned mine records
Coal ground under Elizabeth
What the records show here, and the office that holds the mine maps.
Elizabeth sits over a mapped coal field and the coal there is lignite, worked mostly at the surface. The USGS coal fields map is drawn at a small scale, so it shows the ground, not a parcel.
Nothing at all is on record inside the town limits: no mine, no shaft, no adit and no pit. That is what the files say, and it is not a clearance. Those files record a working only where one was catalogued or drawn on a survey sheet, and on coal ground the sheets are thin: the maps that show the rooms and the pillars are held by Louisiana Geological Survey (LSU) and that office is where to ask for them.
Louisiana abandoned mine maps ranks every county and town in the state by the workings recorded inside it, names the office that holds the mine maps, and says what to do if the ground moves.
Disclaimer: The mine information here is for general information only. Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there. Check with the mine map office named here before you rely on it, and have a qualified engineer look at any ground you are worried about. PublicRecordCenter.com assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors, omissions, or consequences arising from the use of this information.
Straight answers
Elizabeth public-records FAQs
Open only the answer you need.
Are Elizabeth public records free?
Examining records is free under Louisiana's Public Records Law, and custodians may charge only reasonable copy fees under a published schedule. A certified Louisiana birth certificate costs $15 and a death certificate $7 plus a 50 cent state charge on mail and VitalChek orders, parish clerks of court set their own copy fees, and the State Police Internet Background Check charges per search.
How do I request an Elizabeth police report?
Ask the Elizabeth police department for incident and crash reports if the town has its own force; otherwise the Allen Parish Sheriff's Office keeps reports for the area. Crashes worked by the Louisiana State Police are sold online or at any State Police troop, usually about 15 business days after the crash.
Where can I search Elizabeth court cases?
Cases filed in Allen Parish are heard by the district court for the parish, and the Allen Parish Clerk of Court keeps the files and runs the parish records system. Louisiana has no statewide trial court portal, and the Supreme Court offers a case search for its own cases.
Where do I find property deeds, ownership and tax records?
Conveyance and mortgage records are recorded by the Allen Parish Clerk of Court. The Allen Parish Assessor sets property values, and the parish sheriff serves as the property tax collector.
Who issues Elizabeth birth, death and marriage certificates?
Louisiana birth and death certificates are issued by the Vital Records Registry, by mail, at a Vital Records service center or through VitalChek, and many parish clerk of court offices issue them through the state system. Marriage records are kept by the Allen Parish Clerk of Court.
Can I search another person’s Louisiana criminal history by name?
Yes. The Louisiana State Police Internet Background Check returns a name-based Louisiana criminal history online for a fee. Parish clerk of court records also show criminal cases.
How quickly must a Louisiana agency respond to a public-records request?
Louisiana's Public Records Law, R.S. 44:1, requires records to be made available promptly, and when a record is in active use the custodian must set a time within three working days to inspect it. Examining records costs nothing.
