With a pre-approved design (a Southern Nevada standard design, or an approved aluminum or steel product such as ICC ESR 1953 or IAPMO 195): a signed site plan and the patio cover application.
Without one: digitally signed engineered plans, plus the site plan and application, and a full plan review.
Once approved, the plans and permit are printed and kept at the jobsite.
"Building Permits expire 180 days after issuance if no passed inspections performed."
