Calcasieu Parish Police Jury to Begin Code Enforcement Again July 1
Published June 30, 2021
In August 2020, the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury temporarily suspended all code enforcement of properties in the parish due to the widespread damage caused to homes and businesses after Hurricane Laura. Beginning July 1, 2021, the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury’s Division of Planning and Development will lift the suspension on code enforcement and begin enforcing property standards again.
A release from the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury stated that After July 1, Code Enforcement officers will primarily focus on tall grass/weeds, junk and trash/debris violations. “It’s been almost a year since Hurricane Laura and now, our primary goal is to clean up the parish — not to cause residents any additional stress or hardship,” said Wes Crain, Director of the Division of Planning and Development.
Residents with questions or concerns can call CPPJ Code Enforcement at 337-721-3625 or email [email protected]. For more information on property standards, visit calcasieuparish.gov/codeenforcement.
