Do I need a permit for shed or accessory structure in Maumelle?

Permit may be required

It depends. Whether shed or accessory structure needs a permit in Maumelle comes down to the details of your project.

Arkansas has no statewide residential permit office: building permits come from a city or town (or a county that chose to run a program), so the first question is which local office, if any, covers the address. The model 2021 IRC exempts one-story detached accessory structures of 200 square feet or less (R105.2), but only where the local office enforces Volume III. The State Fire Marshal's rule changes list no Arkansas amendment to R105. A building permit exemption does not exempt a shed from local zoning setbacks, or from state electrical and plumbing rules if power or water is run to it.
