Property Inquiries

Find out if you need an NVCA permit

If you are planning to do any work near a lake, river, stream or wetland, you may require approval from NVCA.

Current property owners, potential buyers, lawyers and real estate agents are encouraged to find out if a property is likely to be affected by NVCA policies and regulations.

Check if your property is regulated

Search for your property on NVCA's Interactive Data Viewer to see if you are in an NVCA regulated area.

You may require a permit if some or all of your property is in the regulated area.

Submit a
