Washoe County 2024 IWUIC Chapter 5 application

Washoe County's Building Program applies 2024 IWUIC Chapter 5 under Ordinance 1736, while the companion Chapter 60 fire-code adoption supplies the fire-authority inputs in Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District and other unincorporated areas where the County has fire responsibility; boundary, parcel hazard, water, defensible space, assigned IR class, project, transition date, and official checks remain open.

Scope: unincorporated county · adopted 2025-06-10 · effective 2025-07-01

Official map linked. Washoe's official EZ Fire-WUI map accepts an address or APN and returns the parcel hazard category; the applicable fire district must separately confirm water and defensible-space conformity before Table 503.1 yields an IR class. Open official map →

Still verify with the authority

Confirm the parcel is inside the cited authority or boundary.
Check the parcel in the official hazard map.
Obtain the official site hazard classification.
Confirm that the project type and permit scope trigger the provision.
Confirm the ordinance's effective date for this project.
Confirm the result with the authority having jurisdiction.

What we do not have

These checks stay open because the sourced instrument leaves them to the official record, not because this page skipped them:

Whether the instrument is in force for this project's date.
The official boundary that would put a parcel inside the application.
Confirmation from the building official for this project.
The official hazard class for the lot.
The official hazard or WUI map for the lot.
Whether this project type is in scope of the instrument.
