What ST MARTIN PARISH GOVERNMENT does

St. Martin Parish Government is a parish-level local government entity serving the 51,767 residents of St. Martin Parish in South Louisiana, with its administrative seat in St. Martinville roughly 15 minutes south of Lafayette in the Acadiana region. The Parish Council serves as the legislative and policy-making body with nine members representing nine political districts, while Parish President Pete Delcambre serves as chief administrative officer overseeing operating departments. Core operations span twelve service lines: Animal Services (shelter impounding up to 2,000 animals annually), Building Permits, Community Centers (four rental facilities — Cade, Catahoula, Cecilia Civic Center, Coteau Holmes), Fire District (12 volunteer departments across 17 stations protecting approximately 53,520 people), Public Works, Section 8 Housing, Planning and Zoning, Parks and Recreation, Waste and Recycling, Health Units, and Administration.

The Parish's underlying technology stack is standard government IT infrastructure, augmented by a small number of third-party integrations: iWorq for online permit applications, Petango for adoptable-pet listings, CivicSource for adjudication sales, Municode for the Code of Ordinances, and YouTube for live-streamed Council meetings. Fire District apparatus inventory includes 26 engines, 5 pumper/tankers, 6 tankers, 11 service units, 2 ladder trucks, 7 brush fire units, and dedicated training infrastructure supporting over 240 volunteer firefighters with approximately 12,000 hours of training annually.

Revenue is generated through property taxes and dedicated millages (the Fire District millage was established by public vote in 1967), supplemented by user fees including building/electrical/sewer permits, animal licenses, adoption fees ($120 dog, $75 cat), impoundment fees, and community-center rentals. The Parish operates as a direct-to-government service provider to a single captive resident and taxpayer base within its statutory jurisdiction, with no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no private-ownership structure. The economy of the parish is anchored by sugar cane and crawfish production.
