Louisiana county laws

Select your county on the map or in the list. Each county page links to the official county code and meeting agendas, and lists recent ordinances and resolutions, in plain language where a summary has been written. County laws change often, and the official source is always the authority.

Good to know: Louisiana has parishes instead of counties. Each parish is run by an elected governing authority: a police jury in most parishes, a parish council in others, and a combined city-parish government in a few (for example Orleans, East Baton Rouge and Lafayette). The governing body decides parish ordinances; many smaller parishes publish few ordinances online.
