City permitting reference

How permitting works in New Orleans

New Orleans building permits are governed by the Louisiana State Uniform Construction Code and administered by the City's Department of Safety & Permits. Almost every parcel sits in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, requiring Elevation Certificates for new construction and triggering substantial improvement rules for renovations that exceed 50% of the structure's assessed value. Projects in the French Quarter must clear the Vieux Carré Commission; 14 other historic districts route through the Historic District Landmarks Commission.
