Shed permit checklist — Las Vegas, Nevada

Do you need a permit?
Las Vegas requires a permit for a shed.
Non-habitable one-story detached accessory structures such as storage structures and playhouses do not require a permit when the floor area does not exceed 200 square feet and there are no electrical, plumbing or mechanical improvements or additions. This exemption does not remove applicable zoning code requirements. A permit is required to build, demolish or move a carport, garage or shed of 200 square feet or larger.
