No general statewide building code for private construction; counties/cities adopt and enforce their own. The only statewide IBC adoption is the State Fire Marshal's fire/life-safety layer: 2024 IBC and IEBC in NAC 477.281 (R205-24). Enforced by Local city/county building departments (e.g., Clark County, Las Vegas, Henderson, Reno, Washoe County); State Fire Marshal for its fire/life-safety scope where it has jurisdiction. Checked on the primary source; the state record was last reviewed 2026-11-12.
SFM building-code rules apply statewide except in a county of 700,000+ (Clark) that has adopted codes at least as stringent as the IFC, IBC and IWUIC; state-owned/occupied buildings and public schools stay covered (NRS 477.030(11)).
