Why do I have to go to the City of Shreveport? I don’t live inside the city of Shreveport.
The City of Shreveport zoning office governs any structure placed inside their Metropolitan Planning area. This is why you must contact them and get a zoning certificate before we can issue a permit for that area. The City of Shreveport, located on the first floor of the Government Plaza Building, performs inspections and issues Building permits for the Parish.
