Bentonville Residential Permit Guide

Bentonville residential permits use eTrakit for most applications, including new homes, remodels, pools, additions, demolitions, accessory buildings, storm shelters, decks, solar systems, and retaining walls.

Permit takeaway

Bentonville says all permits except fences and sub-permits are submitted through eTrakit, and residential remodels, pools, additions, demolitions, accessory buildings, storm shelters, decks, solar systems, and similar projects use residential submittal requirements.

Zoning and placement

Residential submittals commonly require a site plan showing lot dimensions, easements, retaining walls, setbacks, public sidewalks, existing structures, and proposed work.

Building and trade review

Single-family, townhome, and duplex permits require digital uploads in eTrakit, including site plans and construction plans with floor plans and elevations.
