Do I need a permit for kitchen remodel in Unincorporated Vernon Parish?
It depends. Whether kitchen remodel needs a permit in Unincorporated Vernon Parish comes down to the details of your project.
There is no statewide list of kitchen work exempt from permits (LAC 17:I.107); new circuits, moved plumbing or gas lines, and wall changes are what usually require one. Louisiana currently amends NEC 210.52(C) so an island or peninsula does not need a receptacle, but provisions for a future receptacle must be provided if none is installed (LAC 17:I.115). The State Plumbing Board issues gas fitter licenses (La. R.S. 37:1368(J)), and plumbing or mechanical contracting worth $10,000 or more requires the matching LSLBC classification (La. R.S. 37:2150.1).
Local detail for Unincorporated Vernon Parish: The Vernon Parish Police Jury requires building permits for all new construction; permits are obtained through its contracted local inspector, Building Inspection Group, in Leesville.
