Clark County Subdivision Ordinance

Approved Clark County Subdivision Ordinance - Effective May 4, 2009

The Clark County Board of Supervisors gave final approval to the revised Clark County Subdivision Ordinance on
March 31, 2009. The revised ordinance will become effective on May 4, 2009.

The ordinance has several significant changes that include:

  1. All newly created parcels of 10 acres or less must be surveyed.
  2. A Minor Subdivision is one to four lots of 10 acres or less, and must be created by
    Certified Survey Map (CSM).
  3. The CSM must be reviewed and approved by the Clark County Planning and
    Zoning Department prior to recording by the County Register of Deeds.
  4. A Subdivision is five lots or more of 10 acres or less, and must be created by Plat.
  5. Newly created lots must be 1 acre or more in size.

The Clark County Planning and Zoning Committee met on April 9, 2009 and adopted a
revised fee schedule for the review of a CSM or a subdivision plat. The new review fees are:

  1. Certified Survey Map........................................$50 for 1-Lot CSM plus $10 for each additional lot
  2. Subdivision Plat – Consultation on Sketch...........$25
  3. Subdivision Plat – Preliminary Plat.....................$250 plus $10 per lot
  4. Subdivision Plat – Final Plat..............................$100

A Certified Survey Map shall be submitted to the Clark County Planning and Zoning Department for review and approval
prior to presenting to the Clark County Register of Deeds for recording. The Plat review process will remain the
same; each stage of the plat development – sketch, preliminary plat, and final plat – requires submittal to the
Clark County Planning and Zoning Committee for review and approval.
