Can a homeowner pull their own permit in Henderson?

Henderson allows a registered homeowner to pull building permits for a primary residence, subject to the city’s stipulations. The city excludes rental and commercial properties from that homeowner policy. Its forms reference also describes the owner-builder affidavit under NRS 624.031 for personal occupancy, without intended sale or lease. Source: Building and Fire Safety FAQs (read 2026-11-06).

For rental and commercial properties, the city requires a contractor to perform the work and be the contractor of record. Homeowner-prepared plans must be legible and comply with building and fire codes. The pool-owner acknowledgement separately assigns responsibility for permits associated with pool safety upgrades to the owner.
