The City of New Orleans remains committed to supporting homeowners as they face rising insurance costs and prepare for future storm-related damage. As part of that commitment, Ordinance 30,235 MCS now requires a separate residential re-roofing permit for any roof replacement work affecting 50 percent or more of the roof on one- and two-family dwellings. Minor roofing work, defined as less than 50 percent replacement, is exempt from permitting unless it meets other criteria that would otherwise require a permit.
The City of New Orleans Office of Economic Development will host a series of three virtual business information sessions. Each of the sessions will provide information regarding how to do business with local, state and federal government agencies.
