Navigating Building Permit Process
The Washoe County Building Program ensures buildings/structures are safe, by applying nationally recognized County adopted ordinances through our plan check and inspection services. These standards are a vital part of Washoe County's quality of life and play a key role in maintaining minimum acceptable construction standards and a predictable regulatory environment. Our goal is to assist our customers by providing exceptional public service and to foster a resilient built environment.
