The person requesting notice of seizure shall pay the sum of ten dollars to the sheriff. B.(1) Any interested person may request, by simple written application to the sheriff, that a written notice of seizure be given to any other person or persons.

After his receipt of the request and the appropriate fee, the sheriff shall, upon the seizure of the property, promptly give the requested notices.(2) Additionally, in the event of seizure of immovable property or a fixture, the sheriff shall give written notice of the seizure and a list of the property seized to each person who, prior to the filing of the notice of seizure, has requested notice under the provisions of Subsection A and who has paid the fee required therein.

In the event of seizure of immovable property or a fixture, the sheriff shall request from the clerk of court, or the recorder of mortgages for the parish of Orleans, at least twenty-one days prior to the first scheduled sheriff's sale, a mortgage certificate effective as of the date and time of the filing of the notice of seizure. The mortgage certificate shall include any requests for notice of seizure.
