Building code in Nevada
No single statewide building code; adopted locally. Counties and cities adopt their own codes, typically a version of the International Residential Code (IRC).
Administered by Local county or city building department.
Nevada sets some statewide minimums but the building code in force is adopted by each local jurisdiction.
Most local permit thresholds derive from this code. See our sources and standards.
