Henderson restaurants are inspected by the Southern Nevada Health District, which assigns A, B, or C letter grades based on inspection demerits, with closure possible for C-grade re-inspection failures.
All food establishments in Henderson fall under Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) jurisdiction, not city code. SNHD inspectors score routine inspections on a demerit system: A grade equals 0-10 demerits, B is 11-20, C is 21-40, and over 40 triggers immediate closure. The placard must be posted near the front entrance. C-rated facilities must request a re-inspection within a set window. Imminent health hazards like sewage backup, no hot water, or active rodent infestation cause same-day closure regardless of grade.
Operating without a current placard, posting in a non-visible location, or operating during a downgrade-triggered closure leads to permit suspension and per-day fines.
