Zoning & Permits
Nevada requires residential building permits at the county or city level. Most jurisdictions have adopted the 2024 International Residential Code (IRC) with local amendments. Always check with your local building department for site-specific requirements.
Off-Grid & Rural Builds
For rural builds, septic and well permits are required through local county health departments. Southern Nevada uses SNHD; Northern Nevada uses NNPH for septic permitting and oversight.
Energy Code & Weatherization
Nevada has adopted the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) statewide through the Governor's Office of Energy. Requirements address insulation, HVAC efficiency, and building envelope standards. Local enforcement may vary in cities like Las Vegas, Reno, and Henderson.
Local Zoning Tools
Zoning and land use in Nevada vary by county and municipality. The National Zoning Atlas provides guidance on understanding local zoning rules across all 35 jurisdictions in the state.
Tip
If you're unsure about your parcel's status—whether it requires septic approval, falls under county vs. municipal jurisdiction, or has specific zoning restrictions—contact your local building department or county health district directly. In Nevada, counties like Clark (Las Vegas), Washoe (Reno), and smaller rural counties all enforce different rules. The resources above are a great place to start.
