Permitting is consolidated under the City of Baton Rouge and Parish of East Baton Rouge Department of Development for most of the parish, though the incorporated cities of Baker, Zachary, and Central maintain their own independent building and zoning departments. Development within the parish is subject to specific drainage and flood zone requirements managed by the Department of Public Works due to the region's low-lying topography.
The parish enforces strict Unified Development Code (UDC) requirements regarding landscape and tree preservation, which mandate specific tree density and buffer zones for new commercial and multi-family developments.
