Permitting metal buildings in Kenner
The city’s Department of Inspections and Code Enforcement issues every permit, and with most of Kenner in a floodplain, flood rules shape the building as much as zoning does.
Permits
- All development in Kenner, wherever it sits, needs a permit to build, fill or develop.
- Apply with the Department of Inspections and Code Enforcement at 1926 18th Street, or call 504-468-4062.
Flood zones
- Most of the city lies in a floodplain, and city ordinance sets the required height for buildings in Zone AE.
- Improvements or repairs costing 50% or more of a building’s value bring it up to new-building elevation.
Use
- The city’s home-based business ordinance bars running a home occupation from an accessory building.
- Size, height and setback limits come from the city’s development code, and we confirm them with the city for your lot.
In Kenner, the flood map comes first. Almost every lot sits in a floodplain, so we check your flood zone and the city’s elevation rules before we set the slab or size the building.
We also serve Metairie, River Ridge and the rest of Jefferson Parish. See all of Louisiana.
