The following is the official procedure for requesting the abandonment of an alley, right-of-way, street, servitude or easement located in either the City of Lafayette or the unincorporated areas of the Parish of Lafayette.

All requests shall originate with the Planning, Zoning and Development Department. The staff will keep the applicants advised of all appropriate meeting dates and the Department may be contacted at 291-8445 between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday thru Friday.

REQUIREMENTS

1. The applicant shall submit a brief letter, explaining the reason for the abandonment request.
2. Twenty (20) copies of a plat of survey, no larger than 11” x 17”, prepared specifically for an
abandonment request, are required.
3. A $500.00 filing and recording fee, payable to the Lafayette City-Parish Consolidated Government,
must be enclosed.

 

THE PLAT OF SURVEY MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION

1. A legible survey with adequate graphics clearly showing the request for action and the area of
concern, including dimensions, bearings, benchmarks, township, range, etc.
2. A vicinity map with a scale no greater than 1” = 2,000’.
