North Las Vegas permits backyard chickens with written consent from neighbors within 60 feet. Roosters are prohibited. Livestock is restricted by zoning.
North Las Vegas allows residents to keep chickens under Title 6 Animals of the Municipal Code, subject to specific conditions. Before keeping chickens the owner must obtain written consent from all neighbors residing within 60 feet of the property. Roosters and any male chicken over three months of age are prohibited to prevent crowing nuisances. Chickens must be confined at all times to a clean, odor-free enclosure or coop. Basements and cellars are not permitted housing. Hen numbers typically align with Clark County conventions of four to six birds per lot in standard residential zones though the ordinance sets conditions rather than a strict head count. Larger livestock such as goats, sheep, and horses are restricted to agricultural and estate-zoned lots with minimum acreage. NRS Chapter 574 governs animal cruelty statewide. HOA CC and R rules under NRS 116 commonly prohibit chickens entirely in master-planned neighborhoods.
