Development and Zoning Codes
While the Development Services Department is responsible for facilitating the private development review process in Fayetteville, enforcement of the City's zoning and development codes is a combined effort across several divisions, including
City Planning,
Engineering,
Solid Waste, and
Urban Forestry.
Building Safety Codes
Fayetteville's building, electrical, energy, mechanical, plumbing, and gas codes are taken directly from Arkansas State building standards and added to when reviewing for Fayetteville. Enforced by the
Building Safety Division, these codes are in place to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public through regulation of building construction practices. City Building Code regulations can be found
here. Additionally, a list of currently adopted building safety codes and those under consideration by City Council are available
here.
