Planning Department

Read a transcription of this video.

The Planning department was created in January 2008 to better serve the public by providing a full-time office, staffed with Tangipahoa Parish Government employees that are under the supervision of the Parish President. This office will address land use situations and subdivision regulations and verify compliance with the Subdivision Regulations and Comprehensive Land Use Plan. We have a GIS system in place to provide updated mapping information.
