The permit application and construction documents filed by an applicant for construction or installation permits shall be reviewed by the building official. The construction documents may be reviewed by other departments of Clark County to verify compliance with any applicable laws. The building official shall require the application for permit to include verification of applicable services, including, but not limited to, water and sewer, prior to the issue of construction permits. As a prerequisite to obtaining a building permit or combination permit all fees for the permit, the residential construction tax (if any), the multiple species habitat conservation plan mitigation fee (if any), and the transportation tax (if any) must be paid prior to issuance. If the building official finds that the work described in an application for a permit and the construction documents filed with it conform to the requirements of this chapter, the technical codes and other pertinent laws and ordinances, the building official shall endorse in writing or stamp the plans and specifications “APPROVED.”
Approved construction documents shall not be changed, modified or altered without authorization from the building official, and all work required by this chapter shall be done in accordance with the approved construction documents. Upon identification and verification of appropriate licensing of a contractor and the payment of fees pursuant to this chapter, a permit shall be issued to the contractor for the work described.
The building official may issue a permit for the construction of part of a building, structure or building service equipment before the construction documents for the entire building, structure or building service equipment have been submitted or approved, provided adequate information and detailed statements have been submitted with the application to show compliance with the requirements of this chapter and the technical codes. Issuance of the permit does not assure that a permit for the entire building, structure, or building service equipment will be granted and the permittee shall proceed at his own risk. Note: See “phased design and construction.” (Ord. 3618 § 2 (part), 2008)
