On February 2, 2018, the City of Las Vegas City Manager and Executive Director of the Southern Nevada Home Builders Association approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that served to document the mutually agreed upon items for the installation of residential fire sprinkler systems within single family production homes. This MOU was the foundation of the successful passage and subsequent adoption of City of Las Vegas bill #2017-19.

Item #11 of the MOU states that all future installations will follow base NFPA 13D design criteria.

The MOU will take precedence over consensus amendments from all future code adoptions. Changes to the MOU can only occur following a proper public hearing process coupled with an independent cost/benefit analysis.

We hope that this communication helps clarify the intent and purpose of the MOU and we apologize for any confusion that resulted from the lack of prior notices or ambiguities contained in previous documents.

Respectfully,

Rick Rozier

Deputy Fire Marshal

Las Vegas Fire & Rescue.
