BACKGROUND: 

The proposed 2024 Existing Building Code replaces the current 2018 edition.

The 2024 Southern Nevada International Existing Building Code Amendments were developed jointly by the Southern Nevada Building Officials and the local construction industry through committee hearings and actions. 

Adopting and enforcing the 2024 International Existing Building Code with the Southern Nevada amendments will provide for improved construction methods and materials, and assist in construction consistency of repair, alteration, change of occupancy, addition to and relocation of existing buildings in Clark County.

The tentative effective date of the 2024 Existing Building Code is January 11, 2026.

Staff recommends scheduling a public hearing for July 15, 2025, at 10:00 a.m.

The District Attorney’s Office has reviewed this agenda item and approved as to form.
