Showing ordinances that apply to Moapa Valley, NV
Moapa Valley is an unincorporated community (population 6,289) in Clark County, Nevada. Because Moapa Valley 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.
