What breaks in Henderson
Green Valley houses from the 1980s and 1990s are reaching the age where the second or third water heater goes and where original shut-off valves seize. Anthem and Seven Hills sit higher with more pressure at the street, so a failed pressure regulator shows up as banging pipes and dripping relief valves. Inspirada and the newest tracts rarely have pipe trouble; their calls are water heaters, disposals, and builder-grade fixtures that fail early.
Water pressure
Many Henderson homes have a pressure-reducing valve near the main shut-off. When it fails, pressure can climb past 100 psi and shorten the life of every appliance in the house. A plumber tests it with a gauge on a hose bib in a minute. If the reading is over 80 psi, the regulator is the fix.

Your questions
Who issues plumbing permits in Henderson?
The City of Henderson Building and Fire Safety department, not Clark County. The plumber pulls it.
Why do my pipes bang in Anthem?
High pressure, usually from a failed pressure-reducing valve. It is a quick test and a common repair in the hillside neighborhoods.
