A message from Dave Childs

The Community Development staff is committed to helping build great communities in Washoe County...and we`re committed to making it a great place to live and play. We pride ourselves on excellent customer service and helping you to fulfill your plans. I want your experience with us to be a good one.

Feel free to call our Planning Counter at 775.328.6100 with your suggestions and to find out how you can become involved in planning for Washoe County`s great future. 

The Community Development Department guides the creation of livable and economically viable communities in Washoe County.  The Department prepares and implements the County's master plan, to include distinct plans for the varied communities within unincorporated Washoe County.  The master plan is implemented through review of development applications and through instituting and enforcing land use and business licensing codes.  The Department is also responsible for providing key support to the Regional Emergency Operations Center (REOC).
