All,

Over the last few months there have been several significant policy changes in unincorporated Clark County. Below we have created a "one-stop-shop" where we have included the adoption and effective dates for the following policy recommendations, so you can be sure to comply with each of these for your upcoming projects that may be at different stages of the development process as these policies become effective:

2021 IECC

• Clark County adopted the 2021 IECC on April 18th, 2023. This means that any standard plan submitted on or after October 16th, 2023, must comply with the new code. To view the industry notice that SNHBA sent out on the adoption of the 2021 IECC in Clark County, please view the following link.
• Please note Clark County is the only jurisdiction that has adopted the 2021 IECC and that regionally, every jurisdiction is beginning the review of the 2024 set of codes for adoption later next year.

Title 30 code rewrite (including mandatory EV capable charging for single-family detached and attached. Mandatory EV capable and EV installed for multifamily developments)

• Clark County adopted the new Title 30 code on August 2nd, 2023. The adoption of the revised Title 30 code will be effective on January 1st, 2024. Clark County announced that you can submit to the new code effective immediately, if you wish to do so, however, your project will not be processed by the determining body until January 1st, 2024 when the code rewrite goes into effect. To view the SNHBA industry notice on the adoption of the revised Title 30 code, please view the following link. You can also view a more extensive SNHBA industry notice on EV's here, which includes important information on how projects with EV's will be processed by NV Energy.
• Please note we anticipate workshops being held with the design community on the contents of the new code soon, but those dates have not yet been circulated.

Mandatory Residential Fire Sprinkler Ordinance

• Clark County is set to introduce the Mandatory Residential Fire Sprinkler Ordinance on August 15th, 2023. September 5th, 2023, there will be a public hearing where the ordinance is anticipated to be adopted. Once adopted, the effective date of the sprinkler ordinance will be March 5th, 2024. That means any project submitted after March 5, 2024, will require mandatory residential fire sprinklers.
