Henderson adopts the International Fire Code and IBC under NRS 278.580, requiring NFPA 13 or 13R sprinkler systems in most new commercial, multifamily, and many large single-family homes, with HFD plan review and inspection prior to occupancy.
Through HMC Title 8, Henderson adopts current editions of the International Building Code and International Fire Code under Nevada NRS 278.580. Fire sprinkler systems following NFPA 13 are required in new commercial, assembly, and multifamily structures. NFPA 13R applies to many residential occupancies up to four stories, and NFPA 13D-style systems may be required in larger single-family homes based on size, hillside, or response time. Henderson Fire Department reviews sprinkler plans, witnesses hydrostatic and flow tests, and signs off before certificate of occupancy. Owners must maintain systems in accordance with NFPA 25 inspection schedules and report tampering or impairments promptly to HFD.
Operating without required sprinklers, removing heads, or failing required NFPA 25 testing can trigger fines starting near 500 dollars, certificate of occupancy revocation, and enforcement under HMC Title 7 and Title 8.
