How are inspections scheduled?
Wynne’s building ordinance identifies foundation, plumbing rough-in, electrical rough-in, framing, mechanical, plumbing top-out, and final inspections for new construction, with a published $10 inspection fee. The current city page directs permit and inspection questions to the Building Inspector’s Office at 870-238-8947; the iWorQ portal supports viewing existing permits and applying for new permits.
Which codes and exemptions should I review?

N/A. Wynne’s reviewed official Building & Planning page and building ordinance require permits for erecting, constructing, enlarging, altering, moving, improving, removing, or demolishing buildings or structures but do not publish a general minor/cosmetic exemption list.
