What building code does Las Vegas, NV use?
Las Vegas, NV currently enforces the 2024 International Building Code. Las Vegas adopts its own code editions. Nevada has no statewide construction code for local buildings, so the city adopts its own; the City of Las Vegas moved from the 2021-cycle Southern Nevada codes to the 2024 I-Codes plus 2024 UPC/UMC and 2023 NEC with CLV/Southern Nevada regional amendments effective 'January 2026' per the city's Building & Safety page (exact day not published, so effectiveDate is null), with the 2019 CLV Administrative Code remaining in effect.
