Baton Rouge building & ADU permits
Recent permit activity, updated continuously.
Baton Rouge is Louisiana's capital and second-largest city, permitting jointly with East Baton Rouge Parish. Its open-data permit feed is one of the few that publishes BOTH the property owner and the contractor of record, so Igni can tell a genuine owner-builder project from a contractor-run job rather than inferring it from a missing field.
Igni is tracking 200 residential and building permits in Baton Rouge, LA. The most active ZIP is 70806. The most recent filing Igni tracked was Aug 14, 2026. All records come from data.brla.gov (Socrata), an official government open-data feed, and are refreshed continuously.
