Building Inspections - Building & Fire Safety

The Building Inspection Department for the City of Bentonville is now the Building & Fire Safety Division of the Bentonville Fire Department. Building & Fire Safety strives to serve the citizens of Bentonville with bettering the future and protecting the people by ensuring the minimum safeguards are met in all construction through comprehensive building inspections. We shall provide these services with courtesy, integrity and fairness. Every effort shall be made to educate the public and to continuously serve its best interest.

This division issues building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, moving, demolition, sign, pool, fire alarm, fire sprinkler, fire kitchen hood and fence permits. Plans are reviewed before permits are issued and the architect/contractor or owner is notified of problems prior to issuance and construction. Certificates of Occupancy are issued from this office after construction is complete, and final inspection is passed by a City Building Official. Our process includes:

  • Validating licenses and insurance
  • Reviewing plans
  • Conducting building inspections
  • Inspecting substandard buildings
  • Issuing Permits
