- Purchasing or developing property (platting, subdivisions, plan review);
- Undertaking construction projects (permitting, inspections); and
- Opening or relocating businesses (certificates of occupancy, land use regulations).
The Department is also responsible for assisting citizens with requests for:
- Zoning variances or reclassification;
- Abandonments of easements or rights-of-way;
- Annexation of land into the City of Lafayette; and
- Including a property on the Lafayette Parish Register of Historic Properties.
The Department is divided into three Divisions each handling unique responsibilities.
