ABOUT THE PERMITS+PLUS ZONE

The Permits+Plus Zone is an ongoing endeavor to streamline the Washoe County permit process by bringing together various departments who are working toward making the permit process more seamless for the customer.

Please look for these and other improvements in the near future.

The following departments are involved in the Permits+Plus Zone and are dedicated to providing you with a more streamlined, efficient permit process:
