Arkansas Permitting & Licensing
One-Stop Portal
Every Arkansas department must process your permit, license, or certification within a published timeframe with real-time status tracking. If they don't, you may be eligible for a fee refund.
How It Works
Published Processing Times
Every permit, license, and certification has a published maximum processing time. Departments must decide on your application within that window.
Concurrent Reviews
Multi-department permits are reviewed simultaneously, not sequentially. EO 26-04 mandates concurrent reviews to reduce total wait times.
Fee Refund Guarantee
If processing exceeds the published deadline, you can request a refund of your application fee. Refunds do not affect your application.
All Departments, One Portal
Check processing times and request refunds for any state department — ADH, ADEE, DPS, ADLL, DFA, and more — all in one place.
