Do you know where to go in Bastrop to access parish services, record a deed, pay property taxes, or find the local government resources your household depends on?
BASTROP, Louisiana — The Morehouse Parish Courthouse at 100 East Madison Avenue is the administrative heart of parish government — a landmark Beaux Arts building constructed in 1914 that has anchored the Bastrop civic landscape for more than a century. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the courthouse is not just a functional government building but a symbol of the community's history, expanded in 1935 and again in 1966 as the parish's administrative needs grew. Inside, residents find the offices responsible for property records, civil court proceedings, voter registration, and the parish-level governance that affects daily life throughout Morehouse Parish.
The City of Bastrop operates from City Hall at 202 East Jefferson Avenue, handling municipal services for residents within the city limits: utility services, building permits, code enforcement, and the day-to-day administration that keeps a city functioning. For residents with questions about city services, permits, or local regulations, City Hall is the starting point.
Additional government resources serving the Bastrop community include the Morehouse Parish Sheriff's Office, the local branch of the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles for driver services and vehicle registration, and the United States Post Office. The parish school system, headquartered in Bastrop, oversees public education for Morehouse Parish's students from kindergarten through graduation.
