Clark County, NV Building Safety: Lead Paint (2026)

Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Program. Contractors. In general, anyone paid to perform work that disturbs paint in housing and child-occupied facilities built before 1978 must be certified in lead-safe work practices. This includes all firms, even sole proprietorships. [...] Training Providers. Training providers must be accredited by EPA (or an authorized Tribal or state program) to teach Certified Renovator and Lead Dust Sampling Technician Courses. [...] Homeowners. If you are planning an RRP project in a pre-1978 home, EPA recommends that homeowners hire a lead-safe certified contractor who is certified and trained in lead-safe work practices. [...] Do-It-Yourselfers. Generally speaking, the RRP Rule does not apply to homeowners doing RRP projects in their own pre-1978 home. However, it does apply if you rent all or part of your home, operate a childcare center in your home or if you buy, renovate and sell homes for profit (i.e., a house flipper). [...] Renters. If you rent a pre-1978 home, your landlord or property management company must comply with the RRP Rule when performing work that disturbs paint. [...] Operators of Childcare Facilities. The RRP Rule requires that renovations of child-occupied facilities in buildings built before 1978 only be performed by lead-safe certified renovation firms. [...] Property Managers. Property management companies that perform, offer or claim to perform work that disturbs paint in a pre-1978 residential building or child-occupied facility must become a lead-safe certified firm.
