Zoning, building permits and septic rules in Village of Longstreet, Louisiana

Rules another office applies inside Village of Longstreet

Village of Longstreet does not set these itself; the county, a health district or the state does, and they apply to every address inside its limits.

• Who permits septicState (with conditions)

  Onsite sewage systems for land inside Longstreet village limits: the state health officer issues permits and the parish health unit receives installer notice

  • Parish health unit role is limited to installer notification; the DeSoto Parish Health Unit service area and whether DeSoto Parish has its own onsite ordinance were not verified.
  • Longstreet village is assumed to be in DeSoto Parish from Wikipedia; not confirmed on an official page.

  “the installer shall notify the appropriate local parish health unit prior to the installation of an individual sewerage system.”

• Septic permitRequired

  Installing, altering or operating an individual (onsite) sewerage system on a lot inside Longstreet village limits (state rule that applies there; the village has no septic rule found)

  • Permit comes from the state health officer, not the village; a temporary permit is issued on plan approval and a final permit after installation is verified (LAC 51:XIII.701.b and c).
  • Installer must notify the appropriate local parish health unit before installing; the parish health unit's service area for Longstreet was not verified.
  • Code text was taken from an LDH-hosted study PDF reproducing the Part XIII chapter; the current official LAC copy was not opened, so currency is not verified.
  • Community sewer connection overrides septic where available (see utility_connection).

  “a person shall not install, cause to be installed, alter subsequent to installation, or operate an individual sewerage system of any kind without first having obtained a permit from the state health officer.”

• Mandatory utility hookupConditional

  New homes inside Longstreet village limits where an established community sewerage system is available

  • Applies only where an established community sewerage system (public or private) is available and there is ample water supply.
  • Availability is determined by the state health officer considering separation, political or geographic boundaries and system capacity.
  • Water-connection rule for Longstreet not found.

  “where an established community sewerage system (either public or private) is available, and there is ample water supply, all plumbing fixtures within any structure shall be connected to such community sewerage system.”
