INFORMATION FOR NEW RESIDENTS
(Note from NOPD, 3rd District)

New Construction or Renovation

Prior to the beginning the construction of a residence, garage, swimming pool, fence or other structure, the owner shall submit reproduced copies of the detailed plans and specifications of the proposed building or structure to the Orleans Levee District Non-Flood Protection Asset Management Authority. No work shall be permitted on the building until such written approval is received and building permit is obtained from the City of New Orleans.

All plans must meet the requirements of the covenants of the Lakeshore Subdivision and be approved by the Orleans Levee District. The plans must also be approved by the Safety Permits Department of the City of New Orleans.

The ultimate responsibility for compliance with the restrictions is on the property owner. Approval of plans and/or issuance of the permit does not satisfy compliance with the title restrictions if, in fact, the construction, whether or not in accordance with the approved plans, is in violation of the lakeshore restrictions.

Political Yard Signs
