Frequently Asked Questions

How does Cabot, AR calculate building permit fees?

What does plan review cost in Cabot?

Cabot does not publish a plan review fee. The city does not publish a plan review turnaround time; ask the permit desk for the current queue when you submit.

Do I need a licensed contractor to pull a permit in Cabot?

Yes, for commercial work of $50,000 or more. Under A.C.A. § 17-25-101, any project other than a single-family residence costing $50,000 or more in labor and materials requires an Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board commercial license, and the building official must see proof of license before issuing the permit. Residential builders and remodelers need an ACLB residential license for jobs over $2,000. Splitting a contract to stay under a threshold is not allowed. Licensed electricians, plumbers and HVACR contractors pull their own trade permits in Cabot.
