Building, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, gas, pool, demolition, sign and fire-protection permits the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas issues inside city limits. Plumbing permits the city issues for properties outside its limits (Farmington and other areas on city water), right-of-way, street closure, grading and vendor permits in the same file are not counted. Springdale, Johnson, Farmington and unincorporated Washington County run their own permit offices and are not in this file, and neither is Fayetteville, North Carolina.
