How to respond to Clark County plan check corrections

What Clark County calls its correction letter, how to resubmit, and what to include, from the city’s own pages. Each fact links to its source.

How to resubmit

1. Missing information, details or questions from the initial plan review come back in a correction letter sent to the designer of the plan.
2. The designer prepares a correction response letter and corrected plans and submits them through the Citizens Access Portal.

From the city’s instructions: clarkcountynv.gov

What to include

• A correction response letter and the corrected plans, together
• Submit them through the Citizens Access Portal; the public counter takes paper corrections only for permits first submitted on paper and not yet issued
• Fees are worked up only after every discipline shows completed

What a good response to plan check corrections has

General guidance, not Clark County’s own rules. Check its page before you resubmit.

• Answer every comment, in the reviewer’s order and numbering, so nothing is missed.
• Say plainly what you changed for each comment, or why no change is needed.
• Name the sheet and detail where each change is, so the reviewer can find it fast.
• Mark changes on the drawings (clouds or deltas are common) and keep sheet numbers the same.
• Send the response letter, the revised drawings and any new calculations together.
