Who handles permits
Clark County Community Development, Permit Center (Public Service Center, Vancouver)

Common residential permit types
- New home construction (single-family, duplex)
- Accessory dwelling units (urban and rural)
- Residential additions and alterations
- Agricultural and accessory buildings
How applying and review work
- Apply online in the county Land Management System (LMS), pay the initial fees and submit the permit for processing.
- Schedule a virtual submittal appointment with the Permit Center; plans are then uploaded to ProjectDox when the county emails a link.
- Plans are reviewed electronically; correction requests come back through the same system for resubmittal.
Typical review stages (general, all jurisdictions)
Completeness check at intake, plan review by each discipline, correction requests if anything is missing or unclear, resubmittal, then permit issuance and inspections.
