Building Department

Welcome to the City of Fernley Building Department Web Site. We would like to thank you for your interest and the services that we offer.  The Building Department is responsible for managing the construction permitting process. This process includes general public information, plan submittal, plan review, permit issuance, inspection, disaster assessment, and document retention. The Building Department is also charged with the task of assuring that all additional approvals required by Planning & Zoning, Fire Department, and Engineering are obtained prior to the issuance of both a building permit and receiving final inspection approval.

Process Overview

City of Fernley has a ONE-Stop Shop concept.  All applications and documents related to construction practices are submitted to the Building Department so the reviews from Planning & Zoning and Engineering are conduct concurrently. The following information is provided to help you understand and navigate the permit process. If you need assistance or need clarification regarding the permitting process, review the FAQ section and of course contact us directly.
