Certificates of Occupancy

For Certificates of Occupancy, send a request to buildingsafetyinquiries@cityofnorthlasvegas.com.

For new single-family construction, your permit will become the Certificate of Occupancy upon receiving an approved final building inspection. You will need to print a copy of the permit for your records.

Inspections can be requested using the Citizen Self-Service (CSS) portal. Some scopes may be performed by video. Your inspector will confirm the method prior to the inspection.
