The governing body of any city or county may provide for the inspection of structures and the enforcement of the zoning regulations and building codes by means of the withholding of building permits. For the purpose of the inspection of structures and the enforcement of building codes by means of the withholding of building permits, the governing body may establish and fill a position of city or county building official, and may fix the compensation attached to the position, or may authorize an administrative official of the city or county to assume the functions of the position in addition to his or her customary functions. A building official must comply with the requirements for certification and continuing education established pursuant to NRS 278.577.
2. The building official may appoint such employees as the building official may deem necessary for the fulfillment of the duties of his or her position. The appointment, promotion, demotion and removal of such employees shall be subject to the same provisions of law as govern other corresponding civil employees in the city or county. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 278.577, any employee appointed pursuant to this subsection whose duties include the reviewing of plans or the inspection of any portion of a structure must comply with the requirements for certification and continuing education established pursuant to that section.
3. The expenditures of the building official shall be within the amounts appropriated for the purpose by the governing body which may provide the funds, equipment and accommodations necessary for the building official’s work.
