  • Washoe County's EZ Permit process, launched in 2024, covers residential HVAC, plumbing, water heater and electrical (services up to 400 amps) permits. Licensed contractors can apply, pay and receive the permit the same day, and permits pulled as an owner/builder need a permit technician's review first.

  3. Put it in a written contract: the work, price, deposit, start and finish dates, warranty, permits and clean-up. Paying cash to skip it leaves you no recourse.
