Nevada's fire marshal adopts the 2018 IWUIC with Appendices A and B — then deletes Chapter 5, and exempts any county of 700,000 or more. That lattice of edits is why what applies to your house here starts with what the adoption is not: a statewide roof, wall, vent, or deck book.
The real wildfire construction answers live locally: both of the state's 2 sourced nodes carry applications, listed under local authorities. What the state layer leaves open sits at what we can't tell you yet.
Basin-and-range planting spans USDA half-zones 5a through 8b — 350 records documented, 70 flagged invasive or noxious. Living here is the dry-country half.
What applies in Nevada
Nevada’s State Fire Marshal adopts the 2018 IWUIC, including Appendices A and B, then deletes Chapter 5. That is not a statewide roof, wall, vent, or deck book. Locals may adopt more stringent rules. A county of 700,000 or more is exempt from those SFM building-code regulations if it has adopted IFC, IBC, and IWUIC at least as stringent. Confirm with the building official.
2 sourced local authorities are open below; 2 have a sourced construction application. Local adoption is never implied from silence.

Each page is labeled by the record actually sourced. A fire-access document is not presented as a code adoption.
2 code-application records are normalized below these place nodes.
State distribution, native range, invasive status, hardiness, and fire evidence answer different questions. None is a planting approval. The list itself is on Grow — this page carries the aggregates.
350 plant records documented in the state.
70 carry an invasive or noxious flag applying here. One fire-evidence source names Nevada in publication scope.
