How development disturbance fees work
Attention All Developers and Construction Personnel:
Prior to development on private or other non-federal property in Clark County, Nevada, the developer must obtain a grading or building permit from the appropriate City or County agency. The permitting office for the City or the County will collect a mitigation fee of $550 per acre, if one has not previously been paid. This is a one-time fee that funds the Desert Conservation Program.
Additional requirements can be found in our developer requirements handout.
Development or ground disturbance on federal property is handled by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the federal land managing agency. You may contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service at 702-515-5000.
