Reno requires NFPA 13D fire sprinklers in new one and two family dwellings under the adopted International Residential Code, with Reno Fire reviewing plans. Casino, hotel, and assembly retrofits follow NFPA 13 with annual inspection and certified contractors.
Reno adopts the International Residential Code, including the residential sprinkler mandate for new single family homes built after the city code update, installed to NFPA 13D standards. Existing homes are not retroactively required to retrofit. Hotels, casinos, and high rise structures along Virginia Street and South Virginia must maintain NFPA 13 systems with backflow prevention and annual inspections logged with Reno Fire Department. Tampering, painting heads, or shutting valves without notice violates the code and triggers immediate correction notices, particularly inside the gaming district where NRS 463 oversight overlaps.
Stop-work orders, occupancy denial for new builds without operational sprinklers, and Reno Fire correction notices with daily fines for impaired commercial systems.
