During the application process for a building permit there are three overarching steps. These steps are submittal, review, and inspection. During the submittal process an applicant for a building permit must submit the required documentation and building plans associated with a permit. Once all of the relevant documentation has been submitted and approved by City of Reno Building & Safety staff the permit is moved to the review step. During the review step the documentation is reviewed for code compliance. Once the permit has completed the review step the building permit is issued.

In reference to the above data tables the information provided represents only permits that have moved past the initial submittal and review process and have been approved to begin construction. 

Once a building permit has moved through the submittal, review, and inspection steps a Certificate of Occupancy (CofO) is issued. The CofO serves as verification that the building is safe and ready for human occupancy. This represents the final step in the building permit application process.

This section serves as a placeholder for historical data. As future fiscal year data becomes available, past historical data will be moved to this section for review.
