Building Permit — Clark County / City of Las Vegas
Las Vegas-area restaurant build-outs require a building permit from Clark County Building & Fire Prevention or the City of Las Vegas, per jurisdiction.
What it is. The building permit for restaurant construction, remodel, or change of use — issued by the jurisdiction where the site sits: Clark County Department of Building & Fire Prevention (under Title 30) for unincorporated areas, or the City of Las Vegas Department of Building & Safety for city addresses.
Who issues it. Clark County Building & Fire Prevention OR City of Las Vegas Building & Safety (County / city layer). Confirm jurisdiction first.
When you need it. Before construction/remodel.
How to apply. Apply through the correct jurisdiction's portal (Clark County uses Accela Citizen Access); obtain sub-permits and pass inspections.
Fees. Per the applicable County or City schedule — see source (⟢ VERIFY).
What SpoonSeal tracks. The document(s) you upload for this requirement, with automatic renewal/expiration tracking (Current, Due Soon, Expired). Where the city publishes health-inspection results (e.g., NYC and Chicago), SpoonSeal syncs them automatically; elsewhere they can be added manually.
