What requires a permit

Mobile advertising that makes a vehicle a permanent or temporary sign — including full or partial vinyl vehicle wraps, magnetic signage intended for long-term display, or trailer-mounted advertising — may require a sign permit or a special business license endorsement before installation or display. Confirm permit triggers and thresholds with the Building Division and Business License office.Clark County Building Division[1] Clark County Business License[2]
