The City of Ark City says thinking about a home or property project this year? Before you break out the tools, it’s worth asking one important question: Do I need a permit? Many projects do require a building permit before work begins – from decks and fences to electrical work, additions, and more. Permits help make sure projects are safe, code-compliant, and don’t turn into costly headaches down the road. Future You will thank Present You. Permit applications are available through the City of Arkansas City Community Development Division, and everything is reviewed before work starts. If you’re not sure where your project falls, that’s okay – we’re happy to help you figure it out. Questions? Call 620-441-4420 or visit www.arkcity.org
