It took about 6 months to get an offer to sell and ratify the treaty to buy it.
France offered to sell the Louisiana Territory on April 11,1803. On April 30, without any approval, the American negotiators agreed to buy it and signed the treaty to do so. The Senate ratified the treaty on October 20,1803. The US did not actually take possession of New Orleans until December 20,1803 and the formal transfer took plave in St. Louis on March 10,1804. However, the US sent Robert Livingstone to Paris in 1801 with authorization to purchase New Orleans, so one might say the clock started then.
