Ordinances
Ordinances are regulations established by the Greater Lafourche Port Commission under authority granted in La.R.S.34:1652 and La.R.S. 34:1652.2. The Port Commission’s ordinances are adopted in the interest of facilitating secure trade and commerce throughout its area of jurisdiction, the Tenth Ward of Lafourche Parish. The Port Commission employs a Harbor Police force which enforces these ordinances, and it works with the Lafourche Parish District Attorney’s Office to ensure fair retribution for violation of these ordinances.
In the past, the Port Commission adopted an ad valorem tax ordinance every year to assess its authorized annual property tax millage. Approximately half of the Commission’s seventy-four total ordinances are ad valorem assessments; thus, the listing of ordinances has been divided into Ad Valorem Tax Ordinances and Non-Ad Valorem ordinances for your convenience.
