Permit Office (AHJ)
City of Reno Development Services Department, Building and Safety Division
Washoe County · Nevada
MEP, structural, civil, and energy-compliance engineering for Reno projects — permitted through City of Reno Development Services Department, Building and Safety Division and designed to the city's adopted codes and amendments.
Coordinated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design — engineered as one system, stamped by licensed professionals, and documented for fast permit approval.
Structural systems designed to the loads your state actually imposes — gravity, seismic, wind, and snow — with drawings built to get approved the first time.
Site engineering that clears local review — grading, drainage, and utilities designed to each jurisdiction's published standards from day one.
Energy compliance handled as engineering, not paperwork — documentation matched to the exact code edition your permitting jurisdiction enforces.
Reno publishes its locally adopted construction codes and amendments rather than using the Southern Nevada Building Officials package. The permit path must also account for the City fire code, accessibility provisions, special inspections, and locally administered grading and floodplain requirements.
Reno's market combines downtown and university-area redevelopment with healthcare, distribution, and advanced-manufacturing demand across the Truckee Meadows. The larger Reno-Sparks industrial ecosystem connects to the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center east of Sparks, while infill sites in Reno often require more deliberate utility, access, and floodplain coordination than greenfield industrial parcels.
Reviewed 2026-09-11. Code editions and local requirements can change; confirm the current requirements with the authority having jurisdiction before design.
Reno accepts permit applications, plan sets, corrections, and inspection requests through its online Development Services system. City review is separate from Washoe County's program outside the city limits; projects with grading, floodplain, or utility work also coordinate with Reno Engineering/Public Works and the applicable regional agencies.
