File Complaint / Report a Violation

There are many activities that are restricted within Stonebridge to retain the beauty and safety that our residents enjoy. Because of these restrictions, Stonebridge is one of the safest neighborhoods in Jefferson Parish.

Some restrictions come from the legal covenants of Stonebridge neighborhood that all residents must abide to. Other restrictions are part of the Jefferson Parish Municipal Code. There are some restrictions defined under both. (see the table below)

Covenant violations are handled by the Stonebridge Property Owner’s Association. To report covenant violations or complaints to SPOA, or if you have questions, use the SPOA contact form located here. Make sure to include the address of the violation, the date and time it occurred. Also make sure to attach photographs of the violation. The easiest way is to take pictures on your smartphone, then open your smartphone to the SPOA contact form located here.  The attachment portion of the form will allow you to choose from your photo library on your phone. Note that the process to address covenant violations takes time, and usually involves the legal counsel retained by the POA.

Code violations are handled by the Jefferson Parish Code Enforcement department. The process to address code violations is very easy, and results in an enforcement action usually within a few days. You can report a code violation online here; Note: You can also use that link to request or report Parish services such as street light outages or animal control services.

Below is a listing of the most common items, sorted by whether they are a code violation, or a covenant violation. If an item is both a covenant and a code violation, it will be listed on the code violation side, simply because enforcement of this violation is much easier and effective through the code enforcement office:
