§ 278A.570. Certification and recordation of plan; effect of recordation; modification of approved plan; fees of county recorder

1. A plan which has been given final approval by the city or county must be certified

without delay by the city or county and filed of record in the office of the appropriate

county recorder before any development occurs in accordance with that plan. A county recorder shall not file for record any final plan unless it includes: (a) A final map of the entire final plan or an identifiable phase of the final plan

if required by the provisions of NRS 278.010 to 278.630 , inclusive; (b) The certifications required pursuant to NRS 116.2109 ; and (c) The same certificates of approval as are required under NRS 278.3765 and 278.377 , if applicable, or evidence that: (1) The approvals were requested more than 30 days before the date on which the request

for filing is made; and (2) The agency has not refused its approval. 2. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, after the plan is recorded, the

zoning and subdivision regulations otherwise applicable to the land included in the

plan cease to apply. If the development is completed in identifiable phases, then each phase can be recorded. The zoning and subdivision regulations cease to apply after the recordation of each

phase to the extent necessary to allow development of that phase. 3. Pending completion of the planned unit development, or of the part that has been

finally approved, no modification of the provisions of the plan, or any part finally

approved, may be made, nor may it be impaired by any act of the city or county except

with the consent of any landowners affected by the modification and in accordance

with the provisions of NRS 278A.410 . 4. For the recording or filing of any final map, plat or plan, the county recorder

shall collect a fee of $50 for the first sheet of the map, plat or plan plus $10 for

each additional sheet. The fee must be deposited in the general fund of the county where it is collected.
