What is Property Line Authorization – Las Vegas, NV?
The Property Line Authorization is a City of Las Vegas Department of Building & Safety form on which the owner of an adjacent property gives written authorization for a neighboring owner to construct a block wall on the property line dividing their two properties.
The form is built as a single sentence with blanks. The adjacent property owner is identified by name and by the address of the property they own. The owner who wants to build is identified the same way. The authorization is for one purpose only: constructing a block wall on the shared property line.
The lower part of the page is headed "Below to be completed by notary". It has blanks for the state and county, the day, month and year (20__) on which the instrument was acknowledged before the notary, the name of the adjacent property owner who acknowledged it, and the notary public's signature.
The form prints the Building & Safety web address, http://www.lasvegasnevada.gov/BuildingPermits, and the phone number (702) 229-6251. It is a stand-alone authorization: the page prints no form number and mentions no other form.
Who needs to file Property Line Authorization – Las Vegas, NV?
The main group is owners of two neighboring properties in Las Vegas who plan a block wall on the line between them. The owner of the adjacent property is the person who gives the authorization. The owner who will build the wall is the person named as authorized.
The form prints two roles, and each needs its own name and address:
- Adjacent property owner: authorizes the wall and is the person named in the notary acknowledgment at the bottom of the page.
- Property owner: the owner authorized to construct the block wall on the property line.
A notary public completes the lower section of the form. The notary is not a party to the authorization.
The form covers only a block wall on the line dividing the two properties. It prints no rules about who may sign for an owner, such as an agent or a representative. Ask the Department of Building & Safety at (702) 229-6251 if someone other than the owner needs to act.
When to file Property Line Authorization – Las Vegas, NV
The form is used when an owner wants to construct a block wall on the property line shared with a neighbor, because it records the adjacent owner's authorization for that wall. No due date, validity period or renewal rule is printed on it. For timing questions tied to a wall project, call Building & Safety at (702) 229-6251 or check http://www.lasvegasnevada.gov/BuildingPermits.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Filling in the section headed "Below to be completed by notary" yourself; the state, county, date and signature there belong to the notary.
- Reversing the two roles by entering the building owner's name where the adjacent property owner's name belongs.
- Leaving out the address of either property; the form asks for an address after each owner's name.
- Having the acknowledgment name anyone other than the adjacent property owner; the notary section names that owner as the person who acknowledged the instrument.
- Using the form to authorize something other than a block wall on the property line dividing the two properties.
- Dating the notary section before the acknowledgment has taken place before the notary.
