***NOTICE OF ORDINANCE CHANGE AND FEE IMPLEMENTATION***
At the October 6, 2026 Clark County Board of County Commissioners (Board) meeting, the Board unanimously approved and adopted an ordinance amending the Clark County Code addressing temporary closures of public streets and rights-of-way for roadway special events; lane closures associated with right-of-way permits and traffic control plans; amendments to Chapter 16.06, Title 16, and Section 30.06.11G of the Clark County Code; updates and additions to Title 30 application and right-of-way fees; an annual fee-adjustment provision; and updates to the Off-Site Improvement Bond Estimate Tabulation form. The approved ordinance can be found HERE.
The ordinance amendment updates certain Title 30 application fees and administrative fees for right-of-way permits, adds fees related to right-of-way permits and lane occupancy, and updates fee amounts used in the Off-Site Improvement Bond Estimate Tabulation form. It also allows fees in specified fee tables and the bond estimate form to be increased by up to 3% at the beginning of each fiscal year.
In summary, for right-of-way work on the roadway, the lane occupancy charge is $50 per street for each calendar day, or portion of a calendar day, that a lane is closed beginning on the fourth calendar day after the lane-closure permit takes effect. For roadway special events, the charge begins on the first approved day of the lane closure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who may be affected by the new fees?
Applicants receiving applicable lane closure permits on or after January 1, 2027, will be subject to the new or increased fees; this may include applicants for certain Title 30 applications, right-of-way permits, lane closures, traffic control plans, and roadway special-event permits. The new fees will apply to any application not received by Clark County Public Works by December 31, 2026.
Will the new fees apply to permits active before January 1, 2027?
No. Active permits, approved on or before December 31, 2026, will not be subject to the new fees because the applicable fees have already been paid and the required bond has already been posted. However, any lane closure applications or requests not received by December 31, 2026 will be subject to the new lane closure fees.
What if my permit is issued before January 1, 2027?
A permit issued before January 1, 2027, generally will not be subject to the new fees.
How does ordinance amendment apply to roadway special events occurring after January 1, 2027?
If a roadway special-event permit is issued before January 1, 2027, for an event occurring in 2027 or later, the new lane occupancy fees will apply.
When does the lane occupancy charge begin?
For qualifying work, the first three calendar days after the lane-closure permit takes effect are not charged, and charges begin on the fourth calendar day. For roadway special events, the $50 lane occupancy fees will begin on the first approved calendar day of the lane closure.
