Tips

  • No addition/remodel/deck/fence-specific review timeline is published by the City of Yerington. The Building Permit Application's only published turnaround figures ('up to ten days' for residential projects generally, 'up to ninety days' for commercial) are stated at the whole-application level rather than broken out by project type — confirm current turnaround for a specific addition, remodel, deck, or fence project directly with the Building Department at (775) 463-3511.
  • The permit application form includes a checkbox for 'Fence' and 'Deck' as distinct categories from 'Addition,' suggesting the City tracks and may size-limit these differently, but no separate size-threshold-for-permit-exemption language (e.g., a shed-size or fence-height exemption) is published on the City's Building Department page or the permit application itself — confirm with the Building Department whether small fences/sheds are exempt.
