Insurance Commissioner Tim Temple recently issued a Cease-and-Desist Order to Jon Andersen for allegedly falsifying documents while applying for a new contractor’s license.
Andersen was later arrested in Jefferson Parish on February 25 on charges of fraud, filing false public records and forgery.
Commissioner Temple issued the order after determining Andersen and his New Orleans-based company, Andersen Design + Build LLC, violated Louisiana insurance and unfair trade practice laws designed to protect the citizens of Louisiana when he doctored inspection records to apply for a new license while his current license was revoked.
Andersen, whose license was revoked in July 2025, applied for a new contractor’s license for Andersen Design + Build LLC, at the Jefferson Parish Government office on Jan. 28, 2026. Andersen submitted the paperwork along with the Andersen Design + Build LLC contractor’s license. He also presented two fraudulent certificates of insurance showing proof of commercial liability and workers’ compensation.
Andersen, who was served with the Cease-and-Desist Order on February 13, has 30 days from the time of service to request an administrative appeal or the action becomes final.
Commissioner Temple said, “A contractor’s license is not just a piece of paper, It is a testament to professionalism and commitment to industry standards. By forging these records, this individual violated the trust of Louisiana consumers. Insurance fraud contributes to insurance costs and creates a financial burden on hardworking families."
