NOTICE:  New building codes are coming soon. Along with the other jurisdictions in northern Nevada, Washoe County will be transitioning to the 2024 editions of the adopted ICC codes, as well as to the 2023 NEC. The new codes are anticipated to take effect July 1, 2025, allowing use of either the currently adopted editions or new editions for a 6-month grace period. Full implementation is scheduled for January 1, 2026, after which time compliance with the new code editions will be required. There are two upcoming industry outreach sessions; details are below. The proposed northern Nevada amendments are also now available online here.
