Storey County Code prohibits the distribution of flyers on the street at any time, including during special events. Interested parties must petition for permission.

A Storey County business license is required for each person, partnership, association, corporation, or firm engaging in any trade, calling, service, profession, or business venture in Storey County, as set forth by county code, whether or not they have offices located in Storey County. You must also have a business license in the jurisdiction where your business is located. 

Each business location within the county must have a separate license. A trade show or convention held in this state in which a business previously described takes part--or in which a person who conducts such a business attends for a purpose related to the conduct of the business--also needs a business license.

Business licenses must be displayed conspicuously at your place of business and in such a manner as to be open to view by the public and subject to inspection. The Business License department must be notified in writing regarding any changes in business name or ownership, location, number of employees, equipment, machines, or any other contingency.

Detailed information on business taxation rates and downloadable forms may be obtained at the Department of Taxation website.

In order to obtain a Storey County business license, you will need to provide the following:

• A completed application for business license, which you have signed and dated
• A copy of your Nevada Tax ID/Business License or proof of exemption which is obtained through the Nevada State Department of Taxation
• Proof of any additional required federal or state licenses
  • This depends on the type of business you will conduct
  • For example, a license from the State Board of Medical Examiners is required to practice medicine
• Any applicable county agency approvals and sign-offs, for those who plan to open commercial businesses run from a store front, or a non-home based business run from your property (e.g. horse boarding)
  • The Business License Office will prepare these forms for you
• The required fees for your business, per the appropriate business license application

The Storey County Sheriff’s Department issues licenses for several specific types of businesses. Although the Business License Office will collect application materials for all businesses, our office will occasionally forward these materials--in the case of these specific types of businesses--to the Sheriff's Office, which will then process the materials and issue licenses. All other licenses are handled solely by the Business License Office.

Licenses for the following businesses will be issued by the Sheriff's Department:

• Alarm companies
• Brothels*
• Daycares
• Door to door
• Escort services
• Establishments that serve or sell liquor
• Gaming establishments
• Utilities

*Please refer all brothel applications or questions directly to the Sheriff’s Office.

Storey County Fire District accepts personal checks, money orders, cashier’s checks, and credit card payments. You may pay online or mail your payment to: Storey County Ambulance Billing PO Box 603 Virginia City, NV 89440

You may complete the insurance information section on the back of your remittance slip and return it to us, and we will be glad to submit your charges to your insurance company.

The Paramedic and Ambulance service provided by Storey County is not a tax based system. While taxes provide a portion of operational funding, ambulance fees collected from insurance companies and those who utilize the service, along with membership fees for Storey County Ambulance Subscription Program, all serve to keep us operational.

Depending on weather conditions the burn season usually opens in late October and closes in May. Please contact the Fire Department at 775-847-0954 to obtain a Burn Permit.

Generally speaking, if you ever wonder if you should call 911, then you should place the call. Our communications specialists are specially trained to ask appropriate questions to help determine how emergent a situation is and which emergency services should be dispatched.

There are, however, certain instances when calling 911 is not appropriate. These situations include:

• As a prank
• To get the time or date
• To get a phone number

• To find out weather conditions
• To get road conditions
• To report barking dogs
• To report stray animals
• To report missing pets
• To find out if it’s burn season
• To determine if school is canceled due to weather

All vendors must have a completed, up to date W-9 on file with the county. Download a W-9 form and submit to the county department you will be working with.

No. Fiber installation is done with minimal impact to your property. CC Communications technicians may need brief access to your yard or the exterior of your home—similar to other utility services. A small hole will be drilled to bring the fiber line into your home or business if there isn't one already existing that can be used. 

The connection to each home or business typically takes one to four hours, depending on the complexity of the building. CC Communications crews may be active in your neighborhood for several days as they complete connections for nearby properties. You’ll receive notice before work begins near your home.

In most cases, you do not need to be home. Technicians can complete the exterior work without entering your home. If additional interior setup is needed when you choose to activate service later, CC Communications will schedule a time to complete it with you. 

For construction-related questions or concerns, contact:
CC Communications – 775-423-7171 | cccomm.net
For general project information, contact:
Storey County Manager’s Office – 775-847-0968

That’s completely fine. Having fiber installed now does not affect your current service or require you to switch. It simply provides the option to use fiber in the future at no cost for installation. If you decline the connection now, reconnecting later may involve setup fees on your end. 

If you do not want fiber installed on your property, you can notify the CC Communications technicians directly when they arrive. Please note that future installation after opting out may involve additional costs on your end.
