Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a residential addition or remodel permit cost in Sherwood, Arkansas?
Sherwood, AR does not publish the building permit fee for a $90,000 (600 sq ft) residential addition or remodel in a form PermitBasis can confirm, so no total is estimated. Call Sherwood Engineering, Permits & Planning at (501) 835-4753 for a quote.
Does Sherwood, AR calculate building permits by square footage or project valuation?
Sherwood prices new homes at $0.16 per square foot under roof. Fees for other building work come from a schedule the city adopted by reference but does not publish, so PermitBasis shows them as unavailable. Trade permits are billed per item (openings, fixtures, equipment).
How long does commercial plan review take in Sherwood, AR and what does it cost?
Sherwood 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 an Arkansas commercial contractor license to pull a permit in Sherwood?
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 Sherwood.
