Tiny home rules in Clark County, NV — covering tiny houses on wheels (THOWs), park model RVs, and tiny home on foundation builds — determine where they are legal and how they get permitted.
Unincorporated Clark County permits tiny homes under Title 30 (Unified Development Code) following Nevada SB 150 (2021), which requires Clark County to designate at least one zoning district for tiny houses as ADUs, as single-family residences, and in tiny house parks. The county code defines a tiny home as a detached single-family dwelling built on a foundation, minimum 150 sq ft, per the International Residential Code.
Nevada Senate Bill 150 (2021) required counties of 100,000+ population (Clark and Washoe) to designate at least one zoning district for each of: tiny houses as accessory dwelling units, tiny houses as single-family residences, and tiny house parks. Clark County implemented this through Title 30 (Unified Development Code) amendments that define a tiny house consistent with the International Residential Code Appendix Q, which sets standards for dwellings 400 sq ft or less (lofts, ladders, ceiling height, emergency egress). Clark County requires the structure be built on a foundation; minimum size is approximately 150 sq ft. A tiny house on wheels is regulated by Nevada DMV as a recreational vehicle (ANSI A119.5) and is not a permanent dwelling under Title 22 (Building Code). Title 22 adopts the 2018 IRC. Confirm the current zoning district list, lot size, and design standards with Clark County Department of Building & Fire Prevention at (702) 455-8011 before construction.
Placing a tiny house on wheels as a permanent residence on a residential lot without authorization can be cited as an unpermitted dwelling under Title 22 and Title 30 and may trigger removal. A foundation tiny home built without a Title 22 permit or outside the designated zoning districts is subject to enforcement.
