The Development and Flood Control Division processes all commercial, industrial and residential land development projects by performing comprehensive reviews of civil improvement plans, maps, drainage studies and water/sewer technical studies for compliance with state, local and federal regulations; calculates and collects development-related fees, agreements and sureties; reviews and conditions Planning Commission applications; and issues permits for grading and off-site construction activities.

The Division is also responsible for the administration and management of FEMA-regulated flood zones and the Community Rating System, and issues Flood Zone Determinations to the community. It ensures compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program, implements the Clark County Regional Flood Control District Master Plan, prioritizes the funding and construction of flood control facilities, coordinates the City’s conformance to the Las Vegas Valley Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit and various air quality permits, and administers the Southern Nevada Water Authority Well Conversion Program.
