Welcome to Washoe County
Department of Building & Safety

The Washoe County Department of Building & Safety enforces nationally recognized codes and ordinances adopted by the Board of County Commissioners to assure that buildings are safe by providing plan check and inspection services for construction. These standards play a vital part in maintaining Washoe County's high quality of living and economic strength. County wide codes play a key role in assisting the construction industry in maintaining a level and consistent playing field. Our goal is to assist our customers by providing code information that can be used in constructing a safe and stable product.

The Department is "Dedicated to Excellence in Public Service."

As Director of Building & Safety, I would like to Welcome You. The Department serves a vital role in the community and wants to provide that service to you in the most expeditious and courteous manner possible. Please feel free to e-mail me with any comments concerning the process. We are here to serve you.
