Read this before you act on anything below. This is my researched starting point for East Feliciana Parish, LA, not legal advice and not a guarantee. Rules change, and the deciding facts on any specific parcel (setbacks, perc results, overlay districts, deed restrictions, road frontage) live at the county or town office, not in any database. Before you buy land or build, confirm the current rules directly with the local zoning and health offices - the sources on this page tell you exactly who to call.

The local rulesEast Feliciana Parish, LA

Zoning & raw-land occupancy

RestrictedThe Police Jury's Planning and Zoning Commission divides the unincorporated parish into zoning districts and regulates land use, density, and structure placement; incorporated towns may have separate rules. source

Dwellings, tiny homes & RVs

Varies locallyRV parks are regulated with specific density and lot-size standards; standalone off-grid tiny home siting isn't confirmed, and manufactured homes can become real property via a recorded act under state law. Confirm specifics with the parish Planning and Zoning or Building Department. source

Building permits & codes

Generally allowedThe parish Building Department (Inspections and Permits) issues permits, but requires zoning approval, a 911 address, and a floodplain determination first; the underlying code is set by the state. source

Septic & composting toilets

RestrictedLouisiana's Department of Health, Office of Public Health sets statewide septic standards, and the local parish sanitarian office issues permits and does site evaluations; composting toilets are not addressed and remain unclear, ask the local Health Unit. source

Greywater reuse

RestrictedNo parish-specific greywater ordinance was found; the state plumbing code baseline likely applies, but this isn't fully confirmed for East Feliciana.

Rainwater harvesting

Generally allowedNo parish ordinance restricting rainwater harvesting was found, so the state baseline applies; floodplain rules could matter near water.

Private wells & water rights

Generally allowedNo parish-specific well ordinance was found; wells fall under the state Office of Conservation and LDH baseline.

Living disconnected from utilities

Varies locallyNo parish ordinance was found requiring utility hookup for unincorporated rural land, but incorporated towns within the parish may require connection where sewer service is available; not confirmed officially.
