Licensing & Permits

Mission Statement

“Youngsville is open for business and we’re happy to welcome you to our city.”  We want to be easy to work with and have created development guides to help you in the process.  You’re welcome to apply for a permit in person at City Hall or here online.

A review of your building plans is required before a building, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, footing/foundation, or other permit will be issued.  This review is to ensure your building plans meet the City of Youngsville Ordinances and national building codes for life safety and minimum construction code requirements.

Please submit a PDF version of your plans to permitsinfo@youngsvillela.gov
