Building Permit Information

To obtain a building permit, all plans and documents must be submitted to the City of Rogers, and all applicable fees must be paid. A building permit is required for all new construction, alterations, or additions. Applications must be legible, complete, dated, and signed by the builder, with all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing contractors listed.

Plan Review

The City verifies that all submittal documents are complete before forwarding them to Bureau Veritas for plan review. Bureau Veritas will contact the applicant directly if additional information or documents are needed or to discuss any noncompliance or deviations from City zoning and adopted code requirements.
