Blighted Properties

Blighted Properties

The LPG is compiling a list of blighted properties in the Lacombe area
for submittal to Parish officials.

If you have identified a property that is "blighted", please click the link
below (Report Blighted Properties), fill out the form, and click "submit".

As a guide to determine a true "blighted" property, the property is usually:

In extremely poor condition (dilapidated, decayed, unsafe, or unsanitary)
May be damaged or partially falling down
Typically vacant or not lawfully occupied
A fire hazard
Overgrown by weeds, shrubs, or trees
No electric meter in place
Open, missing, or boarded windows and doors
Junk vehicles or equipment stored on property
Available to vagrants and other persons freely
Typically in this condition for many months or years
Depreciates surrounding properties
Considered a danger to public welfare or safety

A property does not have to conform to the above listing to be labeled "blighted", but
we will attempt to address the most severe cases of blight first, which would resemble this list.
