Ely, 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: Nevada's Energy Assurance/building energy standards reference the IECC, and NRS 701.220 directs the State to adopt and update energy efficiency standards for new construction. Always confirm the specific adopted edition for the city or county in question rather than assuming a uniform statewide building code.
