Washoe County Health District inspects Reno food establishments and posts results to a public database. Reno does not use letter grades but publishes pass, conditional, or closed status with full inspection reports.
Washoe County Health District's Environmental Health Services unit conducts routine, follow-up, and complaint-based inspections of all permitted food establishments in Reno. Inspectors record violations as priority, priority foundation, or core. Three or more priority violations or repeat issues can trigger a re-inspection within ten days. Restaurants must post their permit visibly and provide inspection reports on request. Results are published on the Washoe County website and updated weekly. Imminent health hazards prompt immediate closure pending corrective action.
Operating without a valid permit, refusing inspection, or failing to correct priority violations leads to permit suspension, fines, and forced closure until violations are corrected and re-inspection passes.
