The objective of the Department of Building Services is to ensure the built environment protects the public’s health, safety, and general welfare. Building Safety does this by:

• Issuing proper permits for approved construction
• Ensuring construction plans comply with codes
• Inspecting construction for compliance to the applicable State and local construction codes

City staff ensures that construction meets the currently adopted Arkansas Fire Prevention Code, Arkansas Plumbing and Gas Codes, Arkansas Mechanical Code, Arkansas Energy Code and the Arkansas National Electric Code. Please contact the city building department at 479-784-2206 for specific information applicable to your project.
