Existing law provides that any municipality or parish may prescribe civil fines for blighted
property, abandoned property, or properties in violation of public health, housing, fire code,
environmental, or historic district ordinances.
Prior law provided an exception from existing law for any parish with a population of more
than 300,000 and less than 400,000 persons (city of New Orleans in 2010 and 2020).
New law removes the exception.
Effective August 1, 2022.
