Custom remodels in North Las Vegas

City of North Las Vegas · Its own department

The Las Vegas valley has four permitting authorities: the City of Las Vegas, the City of Henderson, unincorporated Clark County, and the City of North Las Vegas. Each reviews and inspects its own work, and a set prepared for one is not ready for another.

What It Takes

The fourth
permitting authority.

A separate department, with separate expectations

North Las Vegas runs its own plan review, its own submittal requirements and its own inspection scheduling. A drawing set assembled for Clark County is not ready to submit here, and neither is a schedule built on the county’s plan-check times.

A project planned on the county’s process can sit longer in review than the owner was told. Building the set and the schedule for North Las Vegas from the start avoids that.

Where the housing stock sits

The older neighborhoods south of the beltway are at the age where the plan and the systems both want attention. The newer master plans north and west of them are recent enough that the work is usually addition and finish rather than repair.

Both kinds of North Las Vegas house are ordinary jobs. Which one you have changes where the money goes, and NXG would rather say so at the estimate.

Ground and season, same as everywhere here

Caliche, often within a few feet of the surface, gets priced from the geotechnical report rather than found with a stalled machine. Summer afternoons push concrete, exterior plaster, roofing and paint toward the top of their working temperatures, so heat-sensitive work goes early in the day.

Common Questions

What North Las Vegas owners
ask first.

Is North Las Vegas the same as Las Vegas for permits?

No. The City of North Las Vegas runs its own building department, with its own submittal requirements, plan-check queue and inspectors. Drawings prepared for the City of Las Vegas are not ready to submit here.

How many permitting authorities are there in the valley?

Four: the City of Las Vegas, the City of Henderson, the City of North Las Vegas and unincorporated Clark County. Boulder City sits in Clark County outside the valley and governs its own building as a fifth. A set of drawings satisfies one of them, not all of them.

Does my house answer to an architectural committee?

It depends on the community, and it is worth settling before design rather than during. Where a committee exists it reviews elevation, materials and color, and its approval runs on its own schedule alongside the permit rather than inside it.

What does caliche do to the budget?

Anything below grade meets it. Caliche behaves like soft rock rather than soil, so a footing, a pool, or a trench for a gas line to an outdoor kitchen gets priced by what comes out of the ground. NXG gets a number for that early, because it is a line that can move after the drawings are done.
