How inspections work

No inspection line is published. The Building Inspector position is listed as TBD with the address inspector@greenland-ar.com. Code Enforcer Larry Norman is at ext. 4, code@greenland-ar.com.

What the office says about permits

Greenland posts application forms for building, demolition or moving, electric, gas, mechanical, and flood plain permits, plus planning items such as sign, banner, conditional use, lot split, and rezoning. The city states the actual permit must be filled out and the fees paid at Greenland City Hall, and that some forms are not printable, so residents should contact City Hall for the form they need. No fee schedule, adopted code list, or inspection procedure is published online.

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

The city posts a Greenland Business License Application. No separate contractor registration requirement tied to permits is published.

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.
