Retroactive Permitting & Code Compliance — Las Vegas, Henderson & Clark County

From violation to final sign-off.

Received a notice of violation for unpermitted work? Buying or leasing a property with improvements that were never permitted? Mission Builders takes commercial properties from violation to final sign-off: we document existing conditions, produce permit-ready as-built drawings in-house, correct work to current code, and manage the permit through final inspection.

Who this is for: commercial property owners and managers facing code enforcement, buyers who inherited unpermitted improvements, tenants whose build-outs were done without permits, and lenders or insurers requiring permit closure.

How it works

  1. Site assessment — we survey and document the existing unpermitted work.
  2. As-built drawings — produced in-house; no waiting on a third-party drafter.
  3. Corrections — drywall, electrical, plumbing, and structural work brought to current code by licensed trades.
  4. Permit cycle — application, plan check responses, inspections, and final sign-off with the jurisdiction.

Recent project: a multi-tenant commercial automotive property in North Las Vegas faced a Clark County compliance action. Mission Builders surveyed conditions, produced as-builts, corrected drywall, electrical, and plumbing deficiencies, and carried the permit through final inspection — with tenants open throughout.

Frequently asked questions

Can unpermitted work be permitted after the fact?

Yes. Clark County and the cities of Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas all issue retroactive (after-the-fact) permits. The work must be documented, brought to current code, and inspected.

What does a retroactive permit cost in Clark County?

Clark County typically charges double the standard permit fee for after-the-fact work, plus the cost of any corrective construction. Henderson charges standard fees without a penalty.

Do I have to tear out unpermitted work?

Usually not. Most unpermitted work can be corrected and permitted in place. Demolition is generally only required where work cannot be brought to code.

How long does the process take?

Simple trade permits can close in weeks. Projects requiring as-built drawings and structural review typically run 2–5 months depending on jurisdiction workload.

Can you handle this while my building stays open?

Yes. We stage corrections and inspections around tenant operations.
