Terrebonne Parish, LA Fence Regulations: Material Restrictions (2026)

Section 22-30(e) prohibits building any fence utilizing corrugated metal or tin material once it faces a public street in Terrebonne Parish; the ban was added by Ordinance No. 6032 in 1999 as an amendment to the parish's older fence-permit rule from the 1965 City Code. The material ban travels with the rest of section 22-30, which requires anyone erecting a street-facing fence to first submit a written application to the parish council clerk naming the owner, describing the property by street, lot and block, and stating the type of fence proposed, so a corrugated metal or tin fence application would be rejected at that stage regardless of setback.

S. S. 33:4875 covers parish regulation of fences built with posts and barbed wire, so Terrebonne's material restriction sits well within its home-rule and statutory fencing powers. The Code does not carve out any exception for temporary, agricultural or industrial corrugated fencing along a public street, so the ban applies wherever section 22-30 reaches, meaning street-facing lots inside the zoned areas and elsewhere the parish enforces its fence-permit rule. Anyone who erects, or permits to be erected, a corrugated metal or tin fence along a city street is guilty of a misdemeanor under subsection (d) of the same section, the same penalty that applies to building a street fence without the required written permit in the first place.
