Permitting

A permit may be required to drive or operate a vehicle on parish roadways and bridges having a total weight in excess of the weight limits outlined in Sections 18-27, 18-28, and 18-30 of the Terrebonne Parish Code of Ordinances.

Permit applications will be evaluated based on the impact of the proposed use on a parish roadway or bridge. This will be used to determine the term of the permit and appropriate permit requirements for mitigation or reparation of damages, such as bonding or insurance.
