Louisiana prepayment penalty rules

Louisiana permits prepayment penalties on residential mortgage loans with a maximum of 5% of the unpaid principal balance if prepaid in the first year, decreasing by 1% each subsequent year to 1% in the fifth year. No prepayment penalty is allowed after five years or if the prepayment is from insurance proceeds after a governor-declared disaster.
