A groundbreaking ceremony was held on July 24, 1999. Before it was dedicated, the temple was opened to the public.^[2] Thomas S. Monson, First Counselor in the church's First Presidency, dedicated the Reno Nevada Temple on April 23, 2000. The Reno Nevada Temple has a total floor area of 10,700 sq ft (990 m²), two ordinance rooms, and two sealing rooms.

In 2020, the Reno Nevada Temple was closed in response to the coronavirus pandemic.^[3]
