Why does a Kenner address change the permit question?
Kenner is an incorporated city inside Jefferson Parish (Jefferson Parish municipalities). It runs its own Inspection and Code Enforcement Department and keeps its own contractor and tradesmen pages (City of Kenner). The Jefferson Parish permit office covers unincorporated areas like Metairie, so it isn't automatically the office for a Kenner building.
Kenner sits right next to Metairie. The same road can cross from Kenner into unincorporated parish land. So the exact street address decides which office applies, not the mailing name.
| The work | Where to ask | What to ask |
|---|---|---|
| A repair on an existing door or dock | City of Kenner, Inspection and Code Enforcement | "Does this repair need a city permit?" |
| Replacing a door or changing the opening | City of Kenner, Inspection and Code Enforcement | "Which permit and plans does this need?" |
| New wiring for an opener or controls | City of Kenner, Inspection and Code Enforcement (Permits and Licensing) | "Does the electrician need a Kenner permit or registration?" |
| A fire-labeled rolling door | The testing company and your fire official | "Which rules apply to this door?" |
| A building just outside the city line | Jefferson Parish Building Permits | "Is this address in Kenner or unincorporated Jefferson?" |
State rules are the same in Kenner as anywhere in Louisiana. A state contractor license applies to commercial projects of $50,000 or more, and electrical work needs one at $10,000 or more (LSLBC). City rules don't replace the state ones. The repair company and the city office confirm what applies to your job.
Air cargo and warehouse buildings in Kenner
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is in Kenner. The airport says its cargo business is "served by a heavy concentration of express carriers including FedEx, UPS, and DHL" (MSY air cargo).
That doesn't tell you anything about a particular building's doors. It's a reason to say on the call if your facility is at or near the airport and has its own access rules, security check-in, or tight loading schedules. Those affect when work can happen.
What should you say if a bay is down right now?
Call (385) 325-7138 and say what's stuck and whether the bay is out of use, with the full Kenner address. Keep people away from the door or dock and don't force it. If your call is shared with an independent repair company, that company confirms whether and when it can come.
Example of what to say (not a script): "The dock door at our Kenner warehouse is stuck halfway open at bay 2, and I can give you the address."
- You call (385) 325-7138 and describe the facility and the problem.

Kenner questions
Is Kenner the same permit office as the rest of Jefferson Parish?
No. Kenner is its own city with its own Inspection and Code Enforcement Department. The parish office covers unincorporated areas like Metairie.
Can I call about a commercial garage door as well as a dock door?
Yes. This page covers loading docks, dock doors, and commercial overhead and roll-up doors at Kenner facilities.
Do I need a model number or permit number before I call?
No. The address, the bay number, and what the door or dock is doing are enough.
What if the door is fire-labeled or a fast fabric door?
Say so on the call. Fire-labeled rolling doors get a yearly drop test and a retest after repair, and fast fabric doors often need the provider to reset a curtain after a hit. Both have their own pages: rolling fire doors and high-speed doors.
