Summary

City-specific rules exist: North Las Vegas, Henderson, and Las Vegas have their own tiny homes rules that differ from Clark County's county-level regulations. If you live in one of those cities, check the city-specific page instead.

Tiny homes are permissible in RS2 and require a Special Use Permit (UC), per §30.06.05D, in the AG, OS, and the remaining RS districts.

Full Breakdown

Clark County's Unified Development Code treats a tiny home as a single-family detached dwelling. It's a permitted use only in the RS2 zoning district; in every other residential district, plus the AG and OS districts, an applicant must obtain a Special Use Permit under §30.06.05D before placing one: a discretionary review, not a by-right permit. Tiny homes clustered into a dedicated community instead fall under the separate manufactured-or-tiny-home-park standards at §30.03.03.A.16, which set minimum lot sizes (2,880-4,000 sq ft), 5-10 foot setbacks, a 35-foot height cap, and 350 sq ft of open space per unit.

Violations & Fines

Placing a tiny home in RS2 without approval, or in any other district without a Special Use Permit, is a zoning violation subject to Code Enforcement action and possible removal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I put a tiny home on my property anywhere in unincorporated Clark County?
Only by-right in the RS2 zoning district. In AG, OS, and other RS districts (RS80 through RS3.3) you need a discretionary Special Use Permit under §30.06.05D before placing one.
Does the Las Vegas Strip fall under this county rule?
Yes for tiny homes generally: the resort corridor sits in unincorporated Paradise and Winchester townships, so Clark County's Title 30 applies there rather than the City of Las Vegas code, though CR district standards for resort-adjacent housing differ.
What are the standards for a dedicated tiny home park?
Under §30.03.03.A.16, parks need a minimum 2,880-4,000 sq ft lot per unit, 5-10 foot setbacks, a 35-foot height cap for the primary structure, and 350 sq ft of open space per unit.
