Unincorporated Beauregard Parish

A permit is required outside the city or town limits for any new structure, including building, renovating, or moving in an RV or mobile home.

Note: The parish page does not publish a full exempt-work list. State licensing exemptions may still apply under Louisiana law, but that is separate from local permit triggers.

Building code

RAPC pages reference the Louisiana State Uniform Construction Code and 2012 IRC for residential review; local parish page does not clearly publish a separate parish code adoption.

Contractor requirements

Louisiana state contractor licensing rules still apply.

1. 01
   Confirm the property is outside city or town limits and obtain permit guidance from the parish building office.
2. 02
   Gather required supporting items: current parcel listing from the Tax Assessor, culvert permit, 911 permit, sewer permit or exemption, and electric account number.
3. 03
   Submit permit materials to the permit office and related agencies as required.
4. 04
   Permit office reviews the application and issues the permit when complete.
