Pick a job on the outside of your building and see whether it's usually a quick approval at City Hall, a full Historic District Commission review, or not reviewed at all — in a town where nearly every property has been in the historic district since 1970.

Whether you can rent your place to visitors short-term in Eureka Springs — the residential-zone limits, what's grandfathered, and the licence and monthly filing — plus an estimate of the 14.375% lodging tax to add to a booking, with the state, county, city and CAPC parts shown separately.

Where to park in steep, crowded downtown — the free lot, the paid lots and how to pay by app (no coin meters), and the real answer on a busy weekend: a $5 park-and-ride and the $6 trolley in.

The city's public boards — Council, Planning, Historic District, the CAPC, the Hospital Commission and Parks — with the next date each one sits, worked out from its regular schedule, plus how to watch, read the agenda, or speak.

The Eureka Springs Police Department non-emergency line (479-253-8666) is now in Who to Call alongside the county sheriff — it's the number to use inside town limits. City Hall now shows its phone and address for water and sewer billing, with a note that after-hours water or sewer emergencies go through the police line.

Three tools to start. 'How Busy Is It?' shows how crowded downtown will be on any day in the next few weeks — and the calmest day to go instead — with the park-and-ride answer for when Main Street fills up. 'Weather Warnings' carries the live National Weather Service alerts for Carroll County and the flash-flood reality off the steep streets. 'Who to Call' puts the hospital, sheriff, power line, library and trolley numbers in one place.
