Explanation
Nevada development requires extensive infrastructure provision — developers must install roads, water mains, sewer lines, stormwater systems, street lighting, and sometimes dedicate park land or pay fees for schools and parks. Clark County's development standards require detailed infrastructure plans as conditions of tentative map approval. Infrastructure costs significantly affect development economics. Nevada's impact fee programs also require developers to fund regional infrastructure needs created by their projects.
