Applications will not be placed on a meeting agenda until they are deemed complete by staff. Applications must be submitted via the online portal per the Application Submittal section of the Planning Department. 

Nye County Planning Department offers a Pre-Application Process:

The Pre-Application process is designed to provide early feedback to applicants from Planning, Building, Public Works, Fire and Sheriff's Departments on their projects prior to entering the formal application process. This applies to applications for the Pahrump Regional Planning Commission (PRPC), the Nye County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), as well as the departmental Site Plan Development Review Process.

The first meeting is at no cost to applicants, and helps to eliminate potential issues prior to paying the required fees to commence through the formal Development Review Process. Any additional meeting are $100.00 due at time of scheduling.

To participate in this process or to submit an application you may contact our department at (775) 751-4249 to speak with a Planner or you can schedule an Pre-Development/Planner meeting by following this link to our Application Portal.
