Code Enforcement

In the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the Louisiana Legislature passed Act 12, which calls for strict adherence to the International Construction Code.  South Central Planning and Development provides building code enforcement to a region covering five parishes and several municipalities. The goal of this department is to provide consistent, efficient and affordable plan reviews and inspections to all our member jurisdictions.  Through an economy-of-scale approach, we have reduced the wait time for plan reviews to an average of three days.  We provide prompt next-day inspections, and we always have an inspector on call for emergency after-hours inspections. With the program being revenue neutral and ensuring all inspectors are certified in multiple disciplines, we are able to provide quality service at the lowest price possible.
