What we ship
Nevada licenses sign work as its own contracting trade. The Nevada State Contractors Board issues the C-6 classification for erecting signs, and its C-6b subclassification covers fabricating, installing and erecting electrical signs, including the wiring they need.
Which permit office you use in greater Las Vegas depends on your address. Inside the City of Las Vegas, an on-premise sign needs a sign certificate and a city- and state-licensed contractor; much of the commercial strip is in unincorporated Clark County, with its own permit portal.

Who can install it
Under NAC 624.240, a C-6 license holder may fabricate, install and erect signs and perform the wiring necessary for electrical signs. The classification has subclassifications: C-6a outdoor advertising (excluding electrical lighting for billboards), C-6b electrical signs, C-6c sheet metal work incidental to signs, and C-6d painted signs.
An electrical contractor (classification C-2) can also connect a sign. Local permit offices add their own requirements on top of the state license, such as the City of Las Vegas rule that signs needing a construction permit be installed by a contractor licensed by both the city and the state. Check the license and its classification on the NSCB license search before you hire.
| Licensing agency | Nevada State Contractors Board |
|---|---|
| Sign contractor | C-6 (Erecting signs) |
| Electrical signs | C-6b, including the wiring for the sign |
| Rule | NAC 624.240 |
Rules change. Always confirm with the office that issues your permit before you order.
Permits
Nevada cities and counties issue sign permits under their own codes. In greater Las Vegas, the City of Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas each have their own offices, and unincorporated areas go to Clark County.
In the City of Las Vegas, the sign standards in Chapter 19.14 of the zoning code require the lot owner or an authorized agent to secure a sign certificate before any on-premise sign that needs one is built, placed or modified, and no one may install such a sign without it. Signs that need a construction permit must be installed by a contractor licensed by the City of Las Vegas and the State of Nevada. Wall signs may not extend more than 12 inches above the top of the wall, marquee or parapet, and the district standards generally don’t allow lit signs, internal or external, on a building elevation that faces single-family residential property within 200 feet.
In Clark County, contractors pulling building permits need an active Nevada State Contractor’s License and an active Multi-Jurisdictional Business License number, with matching business names, and permits are submitted and paid through the county’s Citizen Access Portal.
| Sign permit | Your city, or the county outside city limits |
|---|---|
| City of Las Vegas | Sign certificate before building or changing the sign |
| Las Vegas installer | Licensed by the City of Las Vegas and the State |
| Clark County contractors | Nevada contractor’s license + Multi-Jurisdictional Business License |

Banners and temporary displays
The City of Las Vegas handles banners, balloons, inflatables, searchlights, pennants, streamers and similar devices through a Temporary Sign Permit, filed online only. The application is signed, notarized and acknowledged by the property owner, or by a lessee with the owner’s written consent, and includes a letter giving the proposed dates, types and quantities, a scaled site plan and sign elevations or photos. The fee is $100, and display periods follow the limits in the zoning code.
Some of Chapter 19.14’s district standards cap window signs at 25 percent of the windows on a building elevation and count them, together with wall signs, against the wall-sign allowance, so ask Planning which table applies to your zoning before ordering window graphics.
Weather
Nevada’s desert sun and summer heat are hard on paint and plastics, nights cool off sharply, and spring winds and summer monsoon storms can kick up dust. Choose colors that hold up to intense UV, and ask your installer about anchoring for wind on exposed facades.

Questions
