Building Inspection

Welcome to the City of Bentonville's Building Inspection Department's web page. This location will provide you with access to information including many of our counter handouts; permit applications, staff contacts and process information.

The primary objectives of the Building Inspection Department are to provide construction standards enforcement to safeguard health and property in the interest of public welfare. This is accomplished through City ordinances, adoption of model codes and standards, inspection of construction, alterations, moving, demolition, repair and use of buildings and structures. This department issues required permits, checks building plans for compliance with code requirements, validates contractors licenses and workers compensation insurance, performs inspections during the course of construction and maintains records of all activities of the department. The department inspects substandard buildings and issues notices for rehabilitation or demolition, if required.
