The Lyon County Commission held a code enforcement workshop Monday to review a new draft ordinance and take a broader look at how the county handles building permit applications, reviews and approvals.
Code enforcement staff outlined how the county responds to public nuisances, zoning violations, unpermitted construction and other safety issues. The department opens and closes about 30 cases a month and typically resolves roughly 80 percent of them through voluntary compliance. At any given time, about 200 cases remain active.
Commissioners also received a presentation on the county’s building permit process, with discussion centered on ways to improve efficiency and better support both staff and the building community.
Community Development officials said they will use the feedback from the workshop to revise the proposed code enforcement ordinance and return with updated language for possible adoption.
Residents can file code enforcement complaints online or contact the Code Enforcement Office at (775) 344-8326 for assistance. Workshop materials, including the full presentation, are available on the county’s website, and recordings of past commission meetings can be viewed on the Lyon County YouTube channel.
