All building permits where it is being proposed to add square footage to an existing building, add or remove water fixtures, make changes to a fire system, or any new building being built located in LVVWD jurisdiction will be required to submit their permits for review and approval.

In order to obtain a final water release, all service conditions must be acceptable in the field. Please contact the LVVWD Inspections Department at 702-258-7171. If you get a voicemail box, please leave a detailed message stating you name, contact information, building permit number and reason for your call.

LVVWD does not currently offer any expedited reviews. All building permits are processed on a first- come, first-served basis and there are no applicant fees associated with this review.

To properly submit your building permit for review, please reference our handouts titled Building Permit Sign-off for Non-Residential Construction or Building Permit Sign-off for Residential Construction. Please upload all applicable documents listed in the handout to our portal and allow 6 to 8 business days for our review.

Before submitting your permit to LVVWD, please ensure that the applicable Zoning, Civil and Architectural sections of the building permit are in “approval” status with the City of Las Vegas or Clark County Building Department. We cannot complete our review until your request has reached the approval stage. Gathering all applicable documents listed in the Commercial and Residential handouts will ensure a quicker review after submittal.

In order to obtain a cost estimate when no plans have been generated, please fill out our Residential Meter Sizing Worksheet with the number of fixtures the architectural plans would reflect and upload to the Plumbing Plan section of the portal.

Upon completion of our review, LVVWD will grant approval in the Building Department System. At this point you can continue your permitting process with the building department.

LVVWD does not accept any external sharing links due to security reasons. Separate PDF files will have to be generated and uploaded to our portal for both Plumbing Plans and Site Plans.

A Fire Sprinkler Demand Letter is required any time the Building Department is requiring fire sprinklers to be installed on both Residential and Commercial projects. On a Tenant improvement, a Demand Letter will also have to be provided any time the existing system is being modified creating a change in demand required to serve the proposed sprinkler system.

If you have any additional questions, please email us, or call us during our normal business hours at 702-822-8518.
