Where to Register in Houma
Houma is the seat of Terrebonne Parish. As an incorporated city with its own police department, sex offenders who live or work in Houma must register with three separate agencies. This is a firm requirement under state law. Missing any one of the three agencies does not satisfy the registration requirement.
| Houma Police Dept. | houmapolice.com |
|---|---|
| HPD Non-Emergency | 985-873-6371 |
| Terrebonne Sheriff | Tim Soignet, 985-876-2500 |
| State Registry | Louisiana State Police (LSP) |

Bring a photo ID and proof of your Houma address to each agency. Each office will take your photo and verify your information. All three entries must be current and match for your registration to be considered complete. The data from HPD and the Terrebonne Sheriff flows into the statewide LSP registry.
How to Search the Houma Registry
The Louisiana State Police runs the statewide online registry. You can search by name, address, or ZIP code. Houma ZIP codes include 70360, 70363, 70364, and 70374. The map view lets you see registered offenders near any Houma address or neighborhood.

Registration Tiers for Houma Offenders
Every sex offender in Houma is assigned a tier based on the nature of their offense. The tier controls how long they register and how often they verify their address. The three-tier system is set under RS 15:540 and RS 15:541.
Tier I: 15-year registration period, annual verification. One in-person check-in per year at HPD, Terrebonne Sheriff, or LSP. Lower-risk offense category.
Tier II: 25-year registration, verification every six months. Two in-person check-ins per year. Applies to a broader range of offenses including many involving minors or other vulnerable victims.
Tier III: Lifetime registration, verification every 90 days. Four in-person check-ins per year. Applies to the most serious offenses. Tier III information is always publicly available through the LSP registry.
All tiers require updates within 3 days of any change address, employer, phone number, vehicle, or school enrollment. Under RS 15:542, failure to register or keep records current is a felony. First conviction carries up to 5 years in prison. Subsequent failures carry longer terms.
Houma Law Enforcement and the Registry
Both the Houma Police Department and the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office work closely on sex offender registration. Because Houma is the parish seat, both agencies have staff who handle registrations. The HPD covers the city proper, while the Terrebonne Sheriff covers areas outside city limits in the parish.
For residents of Houma, this means two local agencies can answer registry questions. If you are not sure which office to call, start with the Houma Police Department at 985-873-6371 for city addresses or the Terrebonne Sheriff at 985-876-2500 for parish-wide questions.
LSP Troop C covers the Houma and Terrebonne Parish area, coordinating statewide sex offender registration for registrants in this region of south Louisiana.

You can check the DOC sex offender page at doc.la.gov for information on offenders under active DOC oversight in the Houma area.
