How inspections work
Call City Hall at 479-736-2555 for building inspections.
What the office says about permits
All permit applications run through the Gentry Permit Management portal linked from the city's Building Permits and Inspections page. A permit history database is also posted. The city states its website is an informational tool and should not be relied on as the most current source, so call City Hall at 479-736-2555 to confirm. No fee schedule, contractor registration rule, counter hours specific to the building office, or homeowner permit policy is published online. Note the city warns that official city email addresses end in @gentryar.gov while its permit vendor uses @iworq.net.
Work that may not need a permit
This jurisdiction does not publish a list of exempt work. Do not assume a small job is exempt; one phone call settles it.
Contractor registration
Whether contractors must register with this jurisdiction before pulling a permit is not published. Ask before you schedule the work.
Can a homeowner pull their own permit?
The jurisdiction does not publish an owner-builder policy. Many Arkansas cities allow it for an owner-occupied home and some do not. Ask directly.
