EZ Permit 

Washoe County Building and Safety Department is pleased to announce our new EZ Permit process.  Contractors and home owners can now obtain permits by sending a completed application to Building and Safety by fax or email.  Payment will be by credit card, with the permit card sent to the applicant via fax or email.  Permit types that presently qualify for EZ Permit are residential Utility, Reroof* and Demo permits, along with business license inspection and special inspection permits.  Utility permits encompass water heaters, ACs, furnaces and any minor plumbing, mechanical or electrical work not requiring plans.  This will allow same day permitting from your home or office.  Applications submitted before 12:00 pm will be processed the same day as long as the applicant is available for payment processing.

This is an interim step until we can rebuild our website to accept applications and payments online.  Future enhancements include commercial versions of the above permits.  Small projects requiring plans are also being studied to see if they can be integrated into EZ Permits.

Please contact Charlene Parish at 328-2029 with any comments or questions.

Please complete the Contractor Authorization to Sign for Building Permits. Authorization to Sign for Building Permits are kept on file and do not need to be submitted with each permit application. The only time a new authorization is required is if it has expired or the information has changed.

   
*If your reroof job is located within a active HOA a copy of the HOA approval letter must accompany your application submittal in order for it to be processed.
