Reno Blueprint Printing for OneNV-Approved Plan Sets
By Eli Gewirtzman, Owner · Last checked Nov 5, 2026 (prices and City of Reno Development Services sources)
Reno handles permit documents through OneNV’s Digital Projects system. Once the permit is issued, download the final files from Approved Plans / Documents. For residential field sets, one requirement is particularly important: plans submitted in color must be printed in color. Upload the approved PDF and choose matching color settings. We print on 20 lb bond at $1.95 a sheet in black and white or $3.75 in color. Order by 3 PM ET, ships same day.
Prices (flat, 17×22 to 36×48)

Preparing a Reno field set
- Keep the required field set in color. Reno’s residential guideline requires plans submitted in color to be printed in color for the field. Black-and-white copies may serve as additional references, not substitutes for that set.
- Use one sheet size per set. Reno requires uniform page sizes. Do not resize mixed drawings to 24×36 without the designer’s direction. See the PDF page size checker guide to check the approved file.
- Download from the right tab. Pull the files from Approved Plans / Documents in Digital Projects, not from a review cycle, so your printed set matches what was issued.
- Keep scale intact. Print at 100% so the fixed scale the guide asks for still measures right on paper.
Reno’s Building and Safety Division decides what’s in your approved set. We print the PDF you upload as-is and don’t handle the City side of the permit.
Reno jobs we print for
- Custom homes in Somersett and the South Meadows, and remodels in the Old Southwest and Midtown.
- Commercial and warehouse projects along the I-80 corridor, where civil and architectural sets run long.
- Builders working in Sparks or unincorporated Washoe County. Those are separate jurisdictions with their own permit offices, so this page covers the City of Reno.
- Homeowners and owner-builders. See plan printing for homeowners.
