How Fayetteville releases its building permits
Development Services posts monthly permit reports on the city website, and the city's GIS permit layer is updated nightly. Contractor names have occasionally been missing from the reports since a 2026 site change; we look those up separately.
Permit records here come from the city and are public. A typical Fayetteville permit record shows the permit number and issue date, the project address, the type of work (new home, addition, remodel or commercial), the declared value and square footage where the city records them, and the contractor named on the permit.

Development Services on fayetteville-ar.gov, plus the city GIS permits map at maps.fayetteville-ar.gov.
