Remodeling and building in Bella Vista
Bella Vista started as a planned community: John A. Cooper Sr. began selling home sites in 1965, and the property owners association ran the village until residents voted to incorporate in 2006. Today it has about 33,300 residents (2024 Census estimate), and the average home sold for about $410,000 in the second half of 2025, per the Skyline Report.
That history still matters when you build. The city enforces building codes, but the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) still enforces the original POA covenants, which typically cover how a home looks. So exterior work like decks can need both a city permit and ACC approval. The city lists default residential setbacks of 20 feet in front, 7.5 feet on the sides and 15 feet in back.
Permits in Bella Vista
Bella Vista’s Building Division (part of the Fire Department) handles permits entirely online. The city has dedicated Deck and Dock and Remodel permit applications, plus separate electrical, mechanical and plumbing permits. Bella Vista Building Division
Arkansas also requires a state contractor license for residential building, remodeling and home-improvement work over $2,000. We handle the permits, schedule the inspections and meet the inspector, so you don’t have to deal with the city yourself.

“The boys at Harvey Construction are top notch! Great quality and great people! I’ve used them for everything from fascia repairs to bathroom remodels and they always deliver exceptional results.”
“We have an air bnb in downtown Bentonville and these guys helped us fix it up. They also really helped us get it back up and running after the tornado in June 2024. They even connected us with some of the services needed that they don’t cover such as water removal. Thanks guys!”
“Would recommend. Harvey Construction’s got some excellent staff in their office and on the field. They were eager to get us on the schedule quickly, communicated when weather delays occurred, and delivered quality work.”
