MEP permit drawings in Nevada.

In Nevada, cities and counties adopt their own codes. The Southern Nevada jurisdictions — Clark County, Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City and Mesquite — adopt the same editions with shared Southern Nevada amendments. Las Vegas and Clark County have adopted the 2024 Uniform Plumbing Code and Uniform Mechanical Code. Northern Nevada (Reno, Sparks and Washoe County) adopts its own editions.

• Building & residential — IBC and IRC with Southern Nevada or local amendments
• Plumbing — Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), not the IPC
• Mechanical — Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC), not the IMC
• Electrical — NEC with local amendments
• Energy — IECC as adopted locally

Because Nevada uses the Uniform codes for plumbing and mechanical, sizing tables and venting rules differ from most states. We design to the UPC and UMC.

• Las Vegas — City of Las Vegas Building & Safety
• Clark County (unincorporated, including the Strip) — Clark County Department of Building & Fire Prevention
• Henderson — Building and Fire Safety
• North Las Vegas — Building Safety Division
• Reno & Sparks — each city's building division
• Washoe County, Boulder City & Mesquite — plus every other Nevada jurisdiction

• UPC and UMC design — plumbing and mechanical drawn to the Uniform codes with Southern Nevada amendments.
• Desert cooling loads — Manual J/S/D for hot-dry climate zone 3B in Las Vegas.
• Rooftop equipment — supports, clearances and condensate disposal for rooftop units.
• Commercial and hospitality work — tenant improvements and restaurants need coordinated MEP and kitchen exhaust drawings.
• Solar and EV loads — panel capacity and load calculations for PV and EV chargers.

• Electrical — power and lighting plans, panel schedules, load calculations and single-line/riser diagrams (NEC as adopted in the state)
• Plumbing — fixture layouts, water supply sizing, DWV isometrics and gas piping (Uniform Plumbing Code)
• HVAC / mechanical — duct layouts, equipment schedules, ventilation and Manual J/S/D load calculations (Uniform Mechanical Code)
• Energy compliance — energy code compliance documentation and Manual J/S/D calculations
• Fire protection — sprinkler layouts, hydraulic calculations and fire alarm plans (NFPA 13/13R/13D, NFPA 72) where your project needs them

Nevada requires drawings for most commercial buildings to be sealed by a Nevada-licensed engineer or architect. Many single-family projects can be permitted without a seal, depending on the jurisdiction.

Engineers who seal drawings in Nevada are licensed by the Nevada State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. If your project needs sealed MEP drawings, we confirm during scoping whether a Nevada-licensed engineer can seal your discipline and scope, and we put that in writing in your quote. If we can't arrange the seal for your project, we tell you up front, so you can have your own engineer of record review and seal the set. You never pay for drawings you can't submit.
