> This page is general information, not legal advice. Permit rules differ between cities and unincorporated areas and can change. Always confirm with your local building department.

## When a permit is usually needed

Most cities, including Conway, require permits\* for work that changes a home's structure or its plumbing, electrical or mechanical systems. Projects that often fall into that category include:

* Moving or adding plumbing lines, drains or fixtures
* Adding or moving electrical circuits, outlets or lighting
* Removing or moving walls
* Adding ventilation fans that vent outside

## When a permit is often not needed

Cosmetic, like-for-like work often does not need a permit,\* for example:

* Replacing a shower surround or vanity in the same location
* Painting, new hardware or cabinet refacing
* New countertops or a backsplash with no plumbing or electrical changes

## Who to contact

* **Inside Conway city limits:** the City of Conway's permits and inspections office.
* **Other Faulkner County cities** (such as [Greenbrier](https://allstarreno.com/service-areas/greenbrier) or [Vilonia](https://allstarreno.com/service-areas/vilonia)): that city's building office.

## Frequently asked questions

> **Do I need a permit to convert my tub to a shower?**
>
> It depends on the scope and your city. A conversion that keeps the drain in place may be treated differently from one that moves plumbing. Ask during your quote and confirm with your local building office.

> **Who pulls the permit?**
>
> Ask your contractor. When a permit is required for work All-Star Renovations performs, we will discuss it with you during planning.

> **What happens if work is done without a required permit?**
>
> Unpermitted work can cause problems with inspections, insurance claims or selling your home later. It is worth checking first.
