MISSION STATEMENT

The Code Enforcement’s goal is to protect life, safety, and property through the enforcement of the Ascension Parish Code of Ordinances. We also enforce standards for the maintenance and regulation of property, buildings, and structures in the Parish of Ascension.

Code Enforcement Officers enforce the Codes professionally and consistently in order to enhance the quality of life, safety, health, and welfare for the citizens of Ascension Parish.

We seek voluntary compliance for Code violations; however, we may proceed with citations, civil penalties, development penalties, or Parish Council actions if necessary.

Please contact the Code Enforcement Division at (225) 450-1200 if you have any questions or need further assistance.

SUBMITTING A COMPLAINT

If you are looking to submit a complaint regarding a nuisance you see in our parish (such as junked vehicles, outside white goods, dilapidated homes, etc.) contact the Citizen Service Center. A customer service representative will take information regarding the location and nature of the violation. You must have the address of the property.

The Code Enforcement Officer will conduct an inspection of the property, as soon as possible, typically within 24 hours of your complaint. If it is determined that there is a violation on the property, the officer will issue a notice of violation.
