Reno childcare centers need state licensing under NRS 432A plus city building permits, fire inspections, and zoning approval. In-home daycares serving fewer than thirteen children follow lighter rules but still require fire department inspection and zoning compliance.
Childcare facilities in Reno must obtain a state license from the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health under NRS 432A and a Reno business license. Centers serving more than twelve children require commercial occupancy permits, fire sprinklers under the adopted IFC, smoke detectors, and a fenced outdoor play area. In-home family daycares are permitted by right in residential zones under state preemption but still need a Reno Fire Department inspection and CPR-certified caregivers. Plan review verifies egress, restroom counts, and lead and asbestos disclosure for buildings constructed before 1978.
License revocation by the state, Reno building permit denials, fire department closure orders, and business license suspension for unsafe staffing ratios or unpermitted additions.
