Pole Barn Builders in Arp
Arp's own code says a structure needs a permit before it is erected. The Code of Ordinances posted on the City's site says that "no building, house, residence, or structure shall be erected within the corporate limits of the city without first securing a permit from the city signed by the City Secretary". It does not mention a pole barn, so this site states no rule for one in Arp.

Pole Barn Builders around Arp
The code (read October 8, 2026) is a Word document linked from the City's Code Enforcement page. The same chapter says "Fencing and any other structure, temporary or permanent, in the front yard of any property can be no taller than four feet." The document marks the permit section "(Ord. 273, passed 12-1-1975)", so it may have been changed since, and it does not mention a pole barn.
The page does not mention a pole barn, so what follows is our inference, not a rule: the section says structure, not only building, and a pole barn is a structure, so a person planning a pole barn in Arp has a reason to ask the City Secretary about the permit the section describes, and whether the section has changed since 1975, before choosing a site. We say nothing about any lot.
