Digital permit application gateway
Start with the issuing authority’s own submission lane. A complete application package, accurate valuation, and accessible inspection path are the fastest route through statutory plan review.
Recommended first click
Use the official digital gateway to submit plans, monitor review comments, pay required charges, and request inspections when the permit is issued. If the link is unavailable, use the agency website or phone number on the administrative profile to confirm the current lane.
Typical review lane
N/A. The ordinance requires action within a reasonable time but publishes no standard plan-review timeline.
Treat this as a planning signal, not a guaranteed approval date. Completeness, corrections, resubmittals, and agency workload control the actual clock.
Verify the parcel is inside this agency’s service area and note whether a city, state, fire marshal, septic authority, or utility district also has approval authority.
Prepare legible plans, site information, project valuation, ownership authorization, contractor information, and any energy, floodplain, zoning, or utility documentation the issuing office requires.
Keep the permit number, approved plan set, correction comments, fee receipts, and inspection results together. Those records establish the compliance trail for the next trade.

Before submission, call Assumption Parish Permit Office: 985-369-7386; Parish Administration: 985-369-7435 if the project involves a change of occupancy, structural alteration, accessory structure, demolition, or work near a regulated environmental feature.
Source trail
Use these direct agency or licensing links to confirm current instructions before you file, pay, or schedule work. External pages control if their information differs from this directory.

N/A. The ordinance requires action within a reasonable time but publishes no standard plan-review timeline.
The approved plans' cover letter states when to call for each inspection. Keep the cover letter and approved plans at the job site; missing copies can be retrieved through My Permit Now. Have the permit number, project address, and contact information ready. Failed items must be corrected and re-inspected; inspection scheduling should be requested as soon as the actual work-completion date is known.
Louisiana State Uniform Construction Code administered locally through the South Central Regional Construction Code Council; the current parish ordinance does not state a specific 2026 code edition. Permits are generally required for construction, enlargement, renovations exceeding 50% of work area, and occupancy changes. Exempt work includes retaining walls no higher than 4 feet unless supporting surcharge/liquids; painting, papering, tiling, carpeting, cabinets, countertops and similar finish work; temporary stage sets; certain above-ground prefabricated pools under 24 inches deep and 5,000 gallons; agricultural shade-cloth structures; swings/playground equipment; limited window awnings; movable fixtures and partitions; one-story detached accessory structures up to 200 square feet for plans/inspection purposes; ordinary electrical, gas, mechanical, and plumbing repairs; and landscaping.
What makes an application complete
Before you click submit, make sure the drawings agree with the site plan, project description, valuation, ownership authorization, and contractor information. If the work changes structure, occupancy, drainage, fire protection, energy performance, or utility demand, describe that scope plainly. Ambiguous narratives create correction cycles and delay the field schedule.
Save the confirmation number, payment receipt, uploaded plan set, and every correction comment. Those records are the backbone of a defensible compliance file when multiple trades or agencies share responsibility.
Submission quality check
Site: address, parcel, access, setbacks, and existing conditions are consistent.
Scope: structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire, and energy work is identified.
Closeout: inspection contacts and the final approval path are understood before work begins.
