Most remodels require at minimum a general building permit, with additional permits for electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work as applicable. Structural changes such as removing walls, adding square footage, or modifying rooflines require engineered plans and a structural permit. Cosmetic updates like painting, flooring replacement, and cabinet refacing generally do not require permits. As of May 2025, Las Vegas building departments have been increasingly attentive to unpermitted work, and selling a home with unpermitted modifications can create significant legal and financial complications. Kingdom and Co. identifies every required permit during the design phase, ensuring full compliance before any work begins on site.
