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. 

Key Functions:

• establish and maintain communication with the public
• facilitate all aspects of private development
• 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 change frequently 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.
