Digital permit application gateway
Start with the issuing authority’s own submission lane. A complete application package, accurate valuation, and accessible inspection path are the fastest route through statutory plan review.
Recommended first click
Use the official digital gateway to submit plans, monitor review comments, pay required charges, and request inspections when the permit is issued. If the link is unavailable, use the agency website or phone number on the administrative profile to confirm the current lane.
Typical review lane
N/A for ordinary permit review. Harrison’s application requires non-residential plan packages to be filed 21 days before the next regular Planning Commission meeting when the project meets the stated size/site thresholds; inspection timing depends on the city schedule and required notice.
Treat this as a planning signal, not a guaranteed approval date. Completeness, corrections, resubmittals, and agency workload control the actual clock.
Verify the parcel is inside this agency’s service area and note whether a city, state, fire marshal, septic authority, or utility district also has approval authority.
Prepare legible plans, site information, project valuation, ownership authorization, contractor information, and any energy, floodplain, zoning, or utility documentation the issuing office requires.
Keep the permit number, approved plan set, correction comments, fee receipts, and inspection results together. Those records establish the compliance trail for the next trade.

This record is marked Municipal Fallback. Confirm whether a city, state agency, or other local authority controls the parcel before filing.

Harrison permit applications are submitted to the Community Risk Reduction Division at 118 Industrial Park Road or through its online permit page. Inspection requests must be made at least 24 hours in advance; requests with less notice are treated as emergency inspections and may incur additional fees. The city also requires a Certificate of Occupancy inspection for a new business, change of location, or change of ownership.
No current countywide building-code edition was identified because Boone County’s Chapter 13 Article I (Building) is reserved. The City of Harrison publishes the 2021 IFC/Arkansas Fire Prevention Code Volumes I-III, 2021 International Building Code, 2021 Mechanical Code, 2020 Electrical Code, 2018 Plumbing Code, and 2018 Fuel & Gas Code for projects within the city. N/A countywide. Boone County does not publish a county building-permit exemption list. Harrison’s Community Risk Reduction division reviews new commercial and residential construction, additions/remodels, decks, and storage buildings; applicants should confirm any minor-work exemption directly with the city or the municipality where the project is located.
What makes an application complete
Before you click submit, make sure the drawings agree with the site plan, project description, valuation, ownership authorization, and contractor information. If the work changes structure, occupancy, drainage, fire protection, energy performance, or utility demand, describe that scope plainly. Ambiguous narratives create correction cycles and delay the field schedule.
Save the confirmation number, payment receipt, uploaded plan set, and every correction comment. Those records are the backbone of a defensible compliance file when multiple trades or agencies share responsibility.
Submission quality check
Site: address, parcel, access, setbacks, and existing conditions are consistent.
Scope: structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire, and energy work is identified.
Closeout: inspection contacts and the final approval path are understood before work begins.
