order to plan and provide for the safety and well
being of citizens, the Parish receives and monitors
vital development data to identify and insure
compliance with Parish ordinances through requiring
the issuance of construction permits.
The
Office of Planning and Permitting is administered
under the Department of Operations and works hand in
hand with the Parish G.I.S. to provide adequate
information on drainage, public utilities, and minimal
development requirements.
