Clark County Approves Short-Term Rental Ordinance

by Jillian Hyde

Clark County approves short-term rental ordinance, here is a breakdown of the new ordinance.

Clark County has now approved short-term rentals (i.e. properties rented for 30 consecutive days or less).

Per the Clark County Board of Commissioners, the operation of a residential unit as a short-term rental is a commercial use. This means short-term rentals will be subject to a series of rules, fees, special licenses, and lodging taxes based on the rental value of the properties. We are here to assist you at this time.

Applications for short-term rentals are $45.00 and must be completed on Department forms that can be found here. The six-month application period begins September 1, 2022 allowing ample time to find and secure a property for you.

Below, are the most pertinent rulings from the Department:

No more than one license per person
Not within 1,000 feet of an existing short-term rental
Not within 2,500 feet of a resort hotel (state-mandated)
Not within a CIC (common-interest community or HOA), unless the governing documents express otherwise
No more than 10% of units in a multifamily unit, excluding apartments
Not more than 1% of housing in the county can operate as short-term rentals
Maximum occupancy of two people per bedroom or 10 people per unit
Minimum two-night stay for every reservation

Properties meeting the above criteria can be found by visiting the following links:

Note: Clark County’s ruling does not affect City of Henderson, City of North Las Vegas, or City of Las Vegas’ short-term rental policies. Each property will be subject to the licensing jurisdiction and subject to approval.
