What is Cancellation/Refund Form – Las Vegas, NV?
The Cancellation/Refund Form is the City of Las Vegas Department of Building & Safety form that the primary applicant of a permit completes to cancel a permit, to request a refund, or to do both, and then emails to the department.
The PDF has two parts: a page of Cancellation/Refund Instructions and the form itself. On the form you mark Yes or No for Cancel Permit and Yes or No for Refund, identify the applicant and the service address, list the application number(s), state the reason for the refund or cancellation, and sign.
The department separates two requests. A permit cancellation only goes to one email address. A permit cancellation with a refund request goes to another and carries a prescribed subject line.
Refunds are limited. The instructions say that admin fees and Zoning Plan Check fees are non-refundable, and they refer to the 2019 Administrative Code, section 304.5, for the complete refund policy. The form does not state any fee amounts; the department can be reached at (702) 229-6251 with questions.
Who needs to file Cancellation/Refund Form – Las Vegas, NV?
The primary applicant on a City of Las Vegas building permit completes and emails this form when the permit is to be cancelled, when a refund is being requested, or both. The instructions place this duty on the primary applicant.
Details by situation:
- Cancellation only: use the form to cancel the permit without asking for money back. If the permit has already been issued, your email must also say whether any work has been performed and confirm that site conditions are safe.
- Cancellation with a refund request: mark Yes for both Cancel Permit and Refund. The permit must still be Active and no inspections may have been completed.
- Plan Check fee refund: no plan review may have been completed.
The form has a line for the requestor's name "if other than applicant" and a line for a contractor's PIN "if applicable". The instructions do not say more about who else may submit it.
Admin fees and Zoning Plan Check fees are non-refundable, so a refund request cannot recover them.
When to file Cancellation/Refund Form – Las Vegas, NV
Complete the form when you decide to cancel a permit or want a refund of permit fees. The instructions set no calendar deadline, but they set conditions that must be true before you ask for a refund: confirm that the permit is still Active and that no inspections have been completed. If the refund is for Plan Check fees, confirm that no plan review has been completed.
If the permit has already been issued, send the form together with your reason for cancellation, confirmation of whether any work has been performed and confirmation that site conditions are safe.
Because the form is filed by email, a request can be sent as soon as these conditions are met. Admin fees and Zoning Plan Check fees are non-refundable at any time. For the full refund policy, see the 2019 Administrative Code, section 304.5: https://files.lasvegasnevada.gov/building-safety/Administrative-Code-2019.pdf

Common mistakes to avoid
- Emailing a cancellation-only form to [email protected], or a cancellation with refund request to [email protected]; each request has its own address.
- Leaving out or changing the subject line on a refund request, which must read "Cancellation/Refund: Permit Number".
- Requesting a refund when the permit is no longer Active or an inspection has been completed.
- Requesting a Plan Check fee refund after plan review has been completed.
- Expecting a refund of admin fees or Zoning Plan Check fees, which the instructions say are non-refundable.
- Cancelling an issued permit without stating whether any work has been performed and confirming that site conditions are safe.
- Having someone other than the primary applicant complete and send the request; the instructions assign it to the primary applicant.
- Leaving the Cancel Permit or Refund boxes unmarked, so the department cannot tell which request you are making.
