HB 339 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

PARISH/ORLEANS: Provides relative to certain housing developments in the city of New Orleans

HB 339 exempts low-income housing developments funded by Louisiana Housing Corporation tax credits from New Orleans' standard zoning permitting process. It allows these projects to be built in any zoning district where residential housing is permitted, bypassing the city's conditional use review. The bill also ensures these developments qualify for a development bonus under existing zoning ordinances. This directly affects developers seeking to build affordable housing using state tax credits in New Orleans.
