What a contractor can do with this
A permit is the earliest public signal that work is funded and scheduled. By the time a job is bidding, the trades who file next door already know the street. In this window that means 69 roofing filings and 26 electrical filings a competitor could have read off the parish's own data before anyone knocked.
The problem is not access — every record here is public and free. It is that the parish publishes a raw table, updated daily, with no sort by trade, no addresses worth driving to, and no signal about which of the 242 are commercial, and therefore worth a call about a service contract rather than a door knock.
That is the whole product below.

the seven filing days between 22 and 30 October 2026 (242 records). East Baton Rouge only — Ascension,
Livingston and the smaller parishes publish through vendor portals that offer no open feed.
Figures are computed from the parish records and change if the parish amends a filing. Declared value is self-reported on the application. This page is regenerated from the same data the subscriber feed is built from.
