Development Services Department

About Us                                                                                   
The Development Services Department is a combination of the Animal Services, Building Safety, City Planning, Community Services, and Engineering Divisions. It is the goal of this new organization to be more responsive to customers, to be effective in internal communication, and to acheive efficiency in the City by helping developers and citizens obtain the services they need in primarily one location. 

                           Our key functions are to:

      - establish and maintain communication with the public

      - facilitate all aspects of private development review

      - streamline permits and inspections

      - manage public works projects and infrastructure
        improvements

      - promote a higher quality of life for the citizens of
        Fayetteville 
       

Digital Submittal Process                                                         

The Development Services Department now offers a digital or e-submittal option for private development review. This option is intended to increase convenience for developers and citizens and to decrease cost and waste associated with the standard paper submittal. All information can be viewed on the City website at:

Code Amendments                                                                   

Because our codes are constantly changing to reflect Federal or State requirements and to keep up with our community's trends and needs, the Development Services Department posts all proposed ordinance amendments to the Unified Development Code below in PDF. These drafts contain only the proposed revisions and will be removed from the Development Services Department site after they are approved by City Council and included in City Code.

                          Recent code amendments:
