Showing ordinances that apply to Cal-Nev-Ari, NV
Cal-Nev-Ari is an unincorporated community (population 144) in Clark County, Nevada. Because Cal-Nev-Ari is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Clark County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The chickens & livestock rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Unincorporated Clark County allows up to 20 chickens on small lots and more on rural-estate zoning, per Title 30. Roosters are restricted in most residential zones. Livestock require R-E, R-U, or agricultural zoning.
Clark County Title 30 zoning sets chicken and livestock allowances by zone district. In standard residential (R-1) zones, households may keep up to 20 chickens (hens) on lots meeting minimum lot-size requirements, with coop setbacks typically 15 feet from property lines and 30 feet from dwellings on adjacent lots. Roosters are generally prohibited in R-1 because of the crowing nuisance. Rural Estates (R-E) and Residential Urban (R-U) zoning — common in unincorporated pockets like parts of Enterprise and the far southwest valley — allow larger flocks, roosters, and hoofstock such as goats, pigs, horses, and cattle based on lot size. Title 10 Section 10.08 and Title 8 animal sections require adequate food, water, shade (critical in 115 F summer heat), and shelter. Wastewater and manure management must not create a Title 14 nuisance or runoff into storm drains covered by the Clark County NPDES permit. Chicken operations must not draw vermin. HOA covenants in master-planned communities like Summerlin South and Mountain's Edge commonly ban all poultry regardless of county rules.
Exceeding chicken count: Title 30 zoning violation. Rooster in R-1: citation and abatement. Livestock without zoning: land use violation. Welfare: Title 10 Section 10.08 and NRS 574.
