Tips

  • Pre-1979 structures in the Las Vegas Valley commonly contain asbestos-containing materials (ACM) in floor tiles, pipe insulation, and roofing materials — survey is essential.
  • Coordinate with NV Energy (gas and electric) and the Las Vegas Valley Water District for utility disconnections before submitting a demolition permit application.
  • Clark County Air Quality may require separate notification for demolition of structures with regulated asbestos-containing materials — contact (702) 455-5942.
  • Clark County's published Plan Review Timelines do not list a demolition-specific first-review goal — the Building goals cover Standard Plan, Custom Single Family Residence, Residential Minor, Commercial tiers, and Phased Projects only. The range shown here is an estimate; demolition permits are commonly issued over the counter or within the Residential/Commercial Minor window.
