Homeowner permits

Henderson says that if you are the registered owner of the home and it is your primary residence, you may pull your own building permits. There are certain stipulations you must agree to before the permits are issued. (source: City of Henderson Building and Fire Safety)

A Henderson homeowner who pulls their own permits may prepare their own drawings and plans, without consulting an architect or designer, as long as the plans are legible and Building and Fire Code compliant. (source: City of Henderson Building and Fire Safety)

These Henderson policies do not apply to owners of rental properties or owners of commercial properties. In those cases, a licensed contractor must be hired to perform all work and must be listed as the contractor of record on the permits. (source: City of Henderson Building and Fire Safety)

The City of Henderson Building and Fire Safety Department issues permits and performs plans check and inspections for conformity to building codes. (source: City of Henderson Building and Fire Safety)

We have not yet verified Henderson's own permit list for garage door work, so ask Building and Fire Safety what your job needs before you start.

Nevada rules that apply here

Garage door installers are licensed by the Nevada State Contractors Board in classification C-3 Carpentry, maintenance and minor repairs. Subclassification C-3d Overhead doors covers fabricating, erecting and installing guides, counterweights, tracks, weather stripping, automatic and manual controls, and all other equipment needed to install and run overhead doors (NAC 624.210). (source: Nevada Legislature)

For residential contract rules, the Board interprets "repair" to include replacing or doing routine maintenance on mechanical equipment in a completed single-family home, such as heating and air-conditioning equipment, plumbing fixtures, chimneys, garage doors and garage door openers (NAC 624.013).
