Permit may be required

It depends. Whether pavers, driveway, or hardscape needs a permit in Unincorporated Red River Parish comes down to the details of your project.

There is no statewide Louisiana exemption for patios or pavers; parish and municipal codes, zoning, and drainage rules decide. Retaining walls, driveway connections to public roads, and work in mapped flood zones commonly need separate approval. Hardscape work on an existing home worth $7,500 or more may need an LSLBC home improvement registration or license; persons working only in landscaping are exempt from home improvement registration (La. R.S. 37:2157(A)(15)(c)).
