ADU rules in Paradise, NV — also called accessory dwelling unit regulations or granny flat ordinances — cover setbacks, owner-occupancy, parking, and permit requirements.
Clark County permits Accessory Apartments (casitas, ADUs) as accessory uses in many residential districts subject to §30.40 zoning standards and §30.44 use regulations. The unit must be on the same lot as the primary dwelling and may include cooking facilities.
Clark County amended Title 30 Chapters 30.08, 30.16, 30.24, 30.40, 30.44, 30.52, and 30.56 to define and permit Accessory Apartments. An accessory apartment is a segregated portion of a dwelling, or a separate habitable structure located on a lot with a dwelling, used for residential purposes (living, cooking, sanitation, sleeping), including rental for occupancy by others. The accessory apartment may include cooking facilities (kitchen or kitchenette) but is NOT counted as an additional dwelling unit when calculating density per acre. Setbacks, height, and lot coverage match the underlying zoning district. The unit must remain on the same parcel as the main house and cannot be sold separately. Renting the ADU as a short-term rental still requires Chapter 7.100 compliance — and the 2,500-foot resort buffer that excludes most of Paradise. Long-term rental (30+ days) is permitted with business license registration as residential rental.
Operating an unpermitted ADU is a Title 30 violation: misdemeanor up to $1,000 / 6 months, possible removal order, and inability to legally rent. Building inspections are required even when added to an existing footprint.
