Yerington, Nevada has adopted: Nevada is a home-rule state for building codes: there is no single mandatory statewide building-code edition — each city and county adopts and amends its own code. The only genuine statewide floor is the energy code, referenced through NRS 701.220, which directs the State Office of Energy to adopt and update energy-efficiency standards for new construction. Always confirm the specific adopted edition for the jurisdiction in question rather than assuming a uniform statewide code.
