Revised 8.25.25

Development Engineering is responsible for the administrative portion of inspection permitting prior to site inspection. This encompasses the administrative role for all new subdivision, short plats, site plans, drainage projects and excavation, fill and stockpile permits.

What is the purpose of the development inspection process?

The development inspection review process ensures that the infrastructure has been built according to the approved final engineering plans. This review also ensures that private and public improvements have been completed or performance guarantees have been secured, and maintenance guarantees (such as bonds) have been secured.  

What is the purpose of the erosion control inspection?

To insure that the Best Management Practices (BMPs) are used to control erosion during and after construction. See Clark County Code 40.385.030.

How do I apply for a DIN and SWI inspection?

You will need to fill out the Development Engineering application form prior to submitting your application in order for fees to be calculated. Development Engineering will email your fee amounts to you. Then, you will submit a copy of your Approval Letter for your project with the noted required submittal items along with the application form.

What is the DIN and SWI process?

Once you have submitted your DIN and SWI application, the Development Engineering staff will prepare your file for the lead inspector and notify you by email to schedule your Pre-construction meeting (Pre-Con). At the meeting, the lead inspector will go over what is required for you to start construction. If you have public improvements, you will be informed that you will need to submit a cost breakdown on the required public improvements to be approved prior to completion of your project. You will also be informed of any additional fees or permits that may be required.

When do I submit my as-builts?

Once you have finished your construction, the inspector will contact you for paper as-builts from your engineer to submit. The inspector will perform a final walk through for any deficiencies. Once these deficiencies have been corrected, the inspector will give the paper as-builts to the lead engineer for review and approval. The lead engineer will contact you for mylar as-builts.

What do I need to do to get construction approval?

You will need to submit your bond based on the approved cost breakdown from your surety company, your mylar as-builts and any other documents you are required to submit.

What if I don’t have a surety company?

There are several options you can use. Contact Development Engineering staff to discuss them.
