Many homeowners living in the city of Las Vegas want to start home improvement projects but may not know if permits are required, and if so, how to apply for one. The city of Las Vegas is holding three identical neighborhood homeowner meetings in area community centers to help people navigate the process. In addition city staffers will be looking for feedback on four drafts of Las Vegas 2020 Master Plan Elements.

The three departments most involved in the home improvement application process are Planning and Development, Building and Safety and Public Works. Representatives of each department will be at the sessions to provide an overview of the permit application process and to answer specific questions relative to their departments requirements.

The meetingdates and locations are listed below. All meetings start at 6:30 p.m.

Monday, March 24
Mirabelli Community Center, Special Events Room
6200 Hargrove Ave.

Tuesday, March 25
Centennial Hills Community Center, Classroom #4

The master plan and its elements are a policy guide used by the City Council and city staff for community development and land-use decisions.
