Submit for a Permit

Even though the Washoe County Complex is closed to the public for now, we are still working to accommodate your business needs. We continue to accept new permit applications, corrections and revisions. We continue to provide plan review and inspections services, however, we have made changes to our business processes. Please read about these updates below: 

• Submit for New permit: We are no longer accepting paper plans. All new permits need to be submitted via our online platform. Permit Technicians are always available M-F 8am to 4:30pm, by email or phone.
  • What to expect after submitting for a permit?: After submitting for a building permit, a Permit Technician will review the application for completeness and add the fees. Please note that processing times are based on current intake volume. Once you have been notified via email that your application is complete, you will be able to pay the fees that have been invoiced.   
  • Payment: Payments are accepted online via your account once a Permit Technician has invoiced fees. We accept credit card and e-check payments for all permit types. A Permit Technician can schedule for a physical check drop off, but can no longer take payment over the phone.
