How do I make changes (location, mailing address, trade name, etc.) to my account?
All changes require the submission of an updated application. In addition to an updated application, the following changes to accounts located within the unincorporated area of Jefferson Parish must be accompanied by:
  • Location: A zoning clearance issued by the Regulatory Department, and if food items are sold, a clearance issued by the Jeff Parish Health Department.
  • Trade Name: The new trade name must be recorded with the Clerk of Court
  • Ownership: The occupational license tax is not transferable. The new owner(s) must apply as a new business.
