SENT ON BEHALF OF THE NEVADA COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OFFICE.

To Nevada County Business Owners,

As a Nevada County business, we hope this email finds you and your employees safe. In these unprecedented times, we understand many of you are facing tremendous challenges. Nevada County’s Economic Development office is making every effort to reach out to local businesses whose location has been damaged or operations severely impacted.

The Nevada County Board of Supervisors declared a State of Emergency at a special meeting on March 7, 2023. As a result, the Building Department is waiving fees for construction permits to repair damage of permitted structures due to the snow events dating back to February 24.

The Environmental Health Department will waive any permit fee related to septic or well repairs necessary because of storm damage.  The Governor has also declared Nevada County in a State of Emergency. A State of Emergency helps enable government officials to seek state or federal aid for disaster response.

Listed below are resources to help you through these times. The Nevada County Economic Development office is available to speak with you and help direct you to resources within the county, the state, and federal government. If you are a business whose property has been damaged, please share that with our economic development office as it may help in making a case for potential funding from the state or federal government.
