Henderson FAQ
Does my Henderson home need lead inspection?
Only if built before 1978. Most Henderson homes are newer and not subject to lead paint rules. Townsite and older Pittman neighborhoods may have pre-1978 structures.
Who enforces lead paint rules in Nevada?
The EPA enforces federal lead rules directly in Nevada because the state has not taken delegation. Complaints can be filed through the EPA Region 9 office.
Las Vegas FAQ
Does my 1990s Summerlin home need a lead inspection?
No. Only homes built before 1978 are considered target housing under federal lead rules. Most modern Las Vegas subdivisions like Summerlin and Green Valley are not affected.
Who do I call if I suspect lead in a rental?
Call the Southern Nevada Health District environmental health line. They investigate pediatric lead cases and can coordinate with EPA for landlord enforcement.
