Where Henderson permits live
DSC Online covers permits the City of Henderson issued; neighbouring cities and unincorporated Clark County keep their own.
The City does not describe a contractor search in DSC Online. Our compare pages group the City's permits by the contractor named on them.
How to look up the permits on a Henderson address
- Open Building Online Services and follow the DSC Online link.
- Choose Search / View Public Information and search the address or permit number.
- Open each permit and read its status and inspection results.
- Check the contractor's name and Nevada licence number against your contract. If the permit names you as owner-builder, you lose access to Nevada's Residential Recovery Fund for that job.
- For a permit too old for DSC Online, ask the Development Services Center counter (below).
How to read Henderson permit statuses
In the City's permit data the status is short. We read it like this:
| Status in the record | What it means | Finished in our data? |
|---|---|---|
| Done | Finalized; the City records a finalized date | Yes |
| Active - Issued | Work allowed, not yet finalized | Not yet |
| Expired | Lapsed before final | No |
Almost every Done permit carries the date it was finalized, so we time each firm's permits. Completion rates compare each firm with permits of the same trade issued in the same quarter (Henderson about page, methodology).
When the permit you want is not online
The Development Services Center offers "Research and copying of Building Permit records" at the Permit Counter, 1st floor, City Hall, on 702-267-1410 (Records, read 23 October 2026). The page refers fees and formal requests to the City's public records page.
What our Henderson file adds
DSC Online answers "what was permitted at this address". We answer "what does this firm's Henderson record look like".
| Trade | Permits | Firms | Finished | Usual days to final |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Walls & fences | 10,160 | 137 | 50.2% | 475 |
| New home | 8,476 | 80 | 96.0% | 181 |
| Solar | 6,124 | 83 | 93.2% | 25 |
| Electrical | 2,256 | 203 | 77.6% | 29 |
| Plumbing | 1,604 | 198 | 70.2% | 14 |
| Pool & spa | 1,413 | 70 | 93.4% | 114 |
1,202 firms pulled the 33,051 permits. Walls and fences stand out: only 50.2% of those permits a year or more old were Done, and the usual one took 475 days.
The Henderson permit statistics page has the same file by trade, year and month; the firm lists are on the solar, pool and walls & fences compare pages. To check the licence behind a name on a permit, use the Henderson contractor license lookup; to check whether your job needs a permit at all, see Do I need a permit?.

What this does not tell you
HVAC and water-heater change-outs name no contractor in the City's data, so our HVAC list is mostly duct and mini-split work. The City records a fee valuation, not the job price. Our file covers October 2023 to September 2026.
