Roofing permits

Clark County requires a permit before anyone constructs, alters, repairs or replaces a building, or installs, alters, repairs or replaces any electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system regulated by code. Exemptions are in Clark County Building Administrative Code 22.02.190. (source: Clark County Department of Building and Fire Prevention)

Clark County's Simple Online Permits list does not include re-roofs; it covers only certain electrical, mechanical and plumbing items. Ask the Building Division what your roof project needs. (source: Clark County Department of Building and Fire Prevention)

Clark County permits expire 180 days from the date of issuance or the last approved inspection, and each permit stands alone. (source: Clark County Department of Building and Fire Prevention)
