Higher parcel fees for Jefferson Place/Bocage homeowners

The law raises the Jefferson Place/Bocage Crime Prevention and Improvement District’s annual fee cap from $540 to $1,200 per parcel. The first calendar year’s fee is $1,000 per parcel, up from $500. The fee applies only to developed parcels, not vacant parcels. The district board sets the fee and any later increase by resolution, within the $1,200 annual cap. Both imposing the fee and increasing it require approval from a majority of registered district voters voting on the question. Those elections must follow the Louisiana Election Code.
