Subdivision Review

The Southern Nevada Health District reviews, approves, and regulates certain environmental and health aspects of commercial and residential subdivision developments. The provisions are detailed in the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) and Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) Chapter 278.

The subdivision review and approval process includes a review of tentative maps, final maps, and improvement plans. Environmental Health Subdivision staff verify commitments for water and sewer service for all proposed residential and commercial subdivisions, including condominiums and planned unit developments, in Clark County.

Following certification for sewage disposal available capacity and water pollution control permitting by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, final maps are approved by the Health District for sewage disposal, water quality, and any water supply facilities predicated upon a public or private water supply and any community or individual system for disposal of sewage.
