Kenner Residents Directory
Kenner residents directory records come from both city and parish sources. Kenner is an incorporated city in Jefferson Parish, sitting on the East Bank near the airport. The city runs its own Mayor's Court for traffic and ordinance cases, but most other public records go through the Jefferson Parish Clerk of Court. You can search for people, court files, property transfers, and more using the parish online tools. Some records are also held at the Kenner city level, depending on the type of case or document you need.
Kenner Quick Facts
Kenner Residents Directory Courts
Kenner uses a Mayor's Court instead of a city court. This is different from most cities this size in Louisiana. The Mayor's Court handles traffic tickets, parking violations, and city ordinance cases. It does not hear civil lawsuits or major criminal matters. Those go to the parish court system.
The Kenner Mayor's Court is at 1801 Williams Boulevard, Kenner, LA 70062. The phone number is (504) 736-6400. If you have a case in Mayor's Court, you can call to ask about your court date or check on fines. The court keeps its own records for the cases it handles. For anything outside the scope of traffic and ordinance violations, you need to check with the Jefferson Parish Clerk of Court instead.
| Court | Kenner Mayor's Court |
|---|---|
| Address | 1801 Williams Boulevard Kenner, LA 70062 |
| Phone | (504) 736-6400 |
| Handles | Traffic tickets, parking violations, city ordinance cases |
Note: The Mayor's Court is not a City Court and has more limited jurisdiction than what you see in places like Baton Rouge or Shreveport.
