Paradise, NV Animal Ordinances: Breed Restrictions (2026)

Unincorporated Clark County has no breed-specific legislation. Pit bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Cane Corsos, and all other breeds are legal to own. Nevada state law preempts some local breed bans under NRS 202.500 and companion provisions: dogs are classified as dangerous or vicious based on documented behavior (unprovoked attack, inflicting substantial bodily harm), not breed. Title 10 Section 10.08 of the Clark County Code imposes strict responsible-ownership duties: rabies vaccination, microchipping (mandatory effective August 4, 2025), leash and confinement when off property, and a three-dog household limit without a fancier or foster permit. Once a dog is officially declared dangerous or vicious through the Clark County Animal Control investigation and hearing process, the owner faces enhanced confinement, insurance, posting, and leash requirements. A second serious incident can result in an order for euthanasia. Many HOAs and rental properties in Summerlin South, Green Valley Ranch (Henderson), and high-rise Strip condos impose private breed restrictions that are enforceable as contract terms even though the county does not.
