How each fee is calculated

Roof replacement

Fee basis: Flat fee.

Project value on this row: low $8,000, typical $12,000, high $22,000.

City of Las Vegas Building and Safety, 2020 Building User Fees (eff. July 1, 2021) (source retrieved Sep 1, 2026). The official typical path is a tear-off/re-roof that requires a permit, including a tile tear-off.

City of Las Vegas, not Clark County. The fee is a flat amount.

A permit is required on that typical path. The low fee is $242, the typical fee is $242, and the high fee is $281.

The official typical project value is $12,000. Listed assumed valuations are $8,000 low, $12,000 typical, and $22,000 high.

Valuation is not an input on these flat paths, so those amounts are unused and do not change the $242 / $242 / $281 listed fees.

  • Low $8,000: valuation is unused, so the low fee stays $242.

That $242 is Table 3-E #94 Re-roofing Residential plan check $68 + Table 3-E #94 inspection $119 + Table 3-E #2 permit issuance $55. Plan check $68 + inspection $119 + issuance $55 = $242, so the low fee is $242.

The low uses the same tear-off/re-roof path as the typical.

  • Typical $12,000: valuation is unused, so the typical fee stays $242.

Table 3-E #94 plan check $68 + inspection $119 + Table 3-E #2 issuance $55 = $242, so the typical fee is $242. The $68 plan check, the $119 inspection, and the $55 issuance are included in the $242 and are not added again.

  • High $22,000: valuation is unused, so the high fee stays $281.

The high is Table 3-E #95 roof structure/sheathing replacement, not the #94 tear-off path. Table 3-E #95 plan check and inspection together are $226, which is plan check $125 + inspection $101.

That $226 combined line plus Table 3-E #2 issuance $55 is $281. Plan check $125 + inspection $101 + issuance $55 = $281, so the high fee is $281.

The $281 high is not added on top of the $242 typical. A non-tile covering replacement with no structural work and 64 sf or less of sheathing is the exempt path named in the caveat, and that exempt path is not the official typical totals.

It is not the low fee, the typical fee, or the high fee, and this note does not add a $0 line. Posted tables remain effective July 1, 2021.

This note does not invent a fee beyond the official $242 and $281 totals.

City of Las Vegas, not Clark County. Typical tear-off/tile requires a permit. Non-tile covering replacement with no structural work and ≤64 sf sheathing is officially exempt. Fees do not vary with $8k/$12k/$22k. Posted tables remain effective July 1, 2021.

HVAC replacement

Fee basis: Flat fee.

Project value on this row: low $5,000, typical $7,500, high $16,000.

City of Las Vegas Building and Safety, Table 3-D MPE Fees (eff. July 1, 2021) (source retrieved Sep 1, 2026). The official typical path is an HVAC exact change-out.

A permit is required to install or change any part of a heating/cooling system. The fee is a flat amount.

A permit is required on that typical path. The low fee is $238, the typical fee is $238, and the high fee is $257.

The official typical project value is $7,500. Listed assumed valuations are $5,000 low, $7,500 typical, and $16,000 high.

Valuation is not an input on these flat paths, so those amounts are unused and do not change the $238 / $238 / $257 listed fees.

  • Low $5,000: valuation is unused, so the low fee stays $238.

That $238 is Table 3-D #15 HVAC Exact change out plan check $83 + Table 3-D #15 inspection $100 + Table 3-D MPE issuance $55. Plan check $83 + inspection $100 + issuance $55 = $238, so the low fee is $238.

The low uses the same exact change-out path as the typical.

  • Typical $7,500: valuation is unused, so the typical fee stays $238.

Table 3-D #15 plan check $83 + inspection $100 + Table 3-D MPE issuance $55 = $238, so the typical fee is $238. The $83 plan check, the $100 inspection, and the $55 issuance are included in the $238 and are not added again.

  • High $16,000: valuation is unused, so the high fee stays $257.

The high is the non-exact change-out, Table 3-D #14 misc appliance/AHU PC+insp, not the #15 exact change-out path. Table 3-D #14 plan check and inspection together are $202, which is plan check $102 + inspection $100.

That $202 combined line plus Table 3-D MPE issuance $55 is $257. Non-exact change-out plan check $102 + inspection $100 + issuance $55 = $257, so the high fee is $257.

The $257 high is not added on top of the $238 typical. A minor part, filter, or portable unit is the exempt path named in the caveat, and that exempt path is not the official typical totals.

It is not the low fee, the typical fee, or the high fee, and this note does not add a $0 line. Posted tables remain effective July 1, 2021.

This note does not invent a fee beyond the official $238 and $257 totals.

Deck

Fee basis: Flat fee.

Project value on this row: low $8,000, typical $12,000, high $19,200.

City of Las Vegas Building and Safety, Table 3-E (eff. July 1, 2021) (source retrieved Sep 1, 2026). Table 3-E #20 Deck/Balcony is a flat per-deck fee, not a valuation formula.

The included lines are plan check $176, inspection $290, and Table 3-E #2 issuance $55. Plan check $176 + inspection $290 + issuance $55 = $521.

  • Low $8,000: $176 + $290 + $55 = $521, which is the low fee of $521.
  • Typical $12,000: $176 + $290 + $55 = $521, which is the typical fee of $521.
  • High $19,200: $176 + $290 + $55 = $521, which is the high fee of $521.

Low, typical, and high are each $521 because Table 3-E #20 is flat. The official assumed valuations of $8,000, $12,000, and $19,200 are context only and do not change the fee.

The official typical project value is $12,000. A permit is required if the deck is more than 30 inches above grade.

Permit required if the deck is more than 30 inches above grade. Table 3-E #20 is a flat fee per deck, not by valuation, so low, typical, and high are each $521. Listed valuations of $8,000, $12,000, and $19,200 do not change the fee.
