In order to assist the transition of business, the Southern Nevada Health District will allow a facility to apply for a change permit holder if there was an active establishment permit at the same address within the previous 3 years. If the facility has undergone a major remodel, resulting in a change of layout or occupancy, or the equipment has changed drastically, a new permit must be obtained. An application for a Change of Permit Holder must be submitted within 30 days of execution of the lease agreement, management agreement, deed, or another legally binding document that allows the business to operate at the site address. Failure to submit the application within 30 days will result in the assessment of a late fee. If the establishment is in operation when the Change of Permit Holder occurs, the new owner may continue operating unless the Health Authority determines that it is unsafe to do so. If the establishment was not in operation when the new permit holder applies for a health permit, the establishment may not stock or operate until the health permit is approved.
