St Tammany Parish Government

I wanted to put together a contact list of St Tammany Parish Governmental Agencies. Some of these I already have posted in the links section, but I want this to be a directory for anyone needing to obtain permits, and/or who wants to look into public records of mortgages and deeds.
I am probably going to update this a few times, as I compile the information.

St Tammany Parish Philanthrophy for the Holiday Season.

by Leave a Comment

I have a few phone numbers and addresses I want to provide for people Celebrating Christmas in St Tammany Parish. Each year I try and give my old clothes to the Goodwill. Pants that do not button anymore, as well as shirts and jackets that I never wear, and which can definately have a second life on someone else’s shoulders. There are always needy people in the world. Financial trouble, family trouble, sometimes just plain bad luck.

Free Bird House and Bird Feeder Plans

by Leave a Comment

I think that a home is not a home unless it is in harmony with nature around it. I grew up on almost 10 acres of land and much of the land was left wooded. We used to see deer in the morning crossing the property, as well as your almost weekly mish mash of Racoons, Possums, Rabbits, Snakes, Turtles, and Birds.
I used to build live animal traps with my Grandfather too, catching many a bird.

Here are a few links to Building Bird Feeders and Bird Houses.

Please if anyone has anything in home and garden woodworking they would like to add, plans, specs, etc. I encourage it. I have several books at the house, and have built a few things. I would like to add deck plans at a later point, as well if anyone has simple pumphouse plan(s), they would be a great addition.

Thank You

Louisiana State University Agricultural Center / Extension Service

by Leave a Comment

Here are two links that I want to share with everyone that I think could be passed on as people move in their lives.
First is a great link I found that lists the Extension Services for each State. State by State Listing of Extension Services

If there is anyone that does not know what an extension service is I will give a brief answer. It is years of university research and resources made available to the public. My family and friends got trees through them each year. I always thought they were great.

This is the link to the Louisiana State University, LSU Agricultural Center
LSU Ag Center Online

Your extension service is an excellent resource for anyone raising animals or crops on a farm. If you are growing a garden, check with the local extension service and they can tell you common plants as well as yearly planting times. They also sell trees for lanscaping and reforesting.

St Tammany Parish Louisiana HUD Homes For Sale

by Leave a Comment

This is the link to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, more commonly known as HUD. This is the website of homes for sale throughout the Unites States. HUD Homes For Sale

This is the link to HUD homes for sale in Louisiana. Louisiana HUD Homes for Sale

HUD homes are hopefully for owner occupancy, but will be sold to investors if they do not sell during a certain time period.

This is a great link through HUD, Government Agency Homes for Sale
with portals to information on the auctions of the DVA, Department of Veterans Affairs, the FDIC, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the GSA, General Services Administration, the IRS, Internal Revenue Service, the SBA, Small Business Administration, the US Army Core of Engineers, the Customs Department and the US Marshal’s Service.
