Your application packet must include a plot plan that includes all required elements shown on the plot plan checklist.

Take a look at this plot plan checklist and example.

Required information/elements can be found on the subdivision as-built plan, recorded plat, building plans, and/or Clark County Code Title 40. In some cases, you may need to email or call the Permit Center for assistance.
