Overview

The Inspection and Code Enforcement Department is responsible for processing permit applications for building construction and renovations, business signs, demolitions of structures, garage sales and the like. Other responsibilities include issuance of tradesman licenses (electricians, plumbers, mechanical contractors), collection of related fees and coordination of inspection schedules. This section includes personnel that are responsible for reviewing commercial and residential plans to insure compliance with the City's building code and other related regulations.

Waived Permit Fees

In accordance with Council Resolution B-17411, the City of Kenner is waiving permit fees for damages sustained from Hurricane Francine. However, residents are still required to obtain a permit for any repair work on their homes.
