Henderson prohibits livestock (cattle, horses, goats, pigs, roosters) on standard residential lots under HMC Title 19. Larger animals require rural or estate zones. Hens may be allowed in limited numbers.
HMC Title 19 Zoning restricts livestock to rural residential (RR) and estate (RE) zones with minimum lot sizes, typically one-half acre or more, with setbacks from dwellings and property lines. Standard R-1, R-2, and master-planned PS districts used across Henderson prohibit horses, cattle, goats, sheep, and swine. A limited number of hens (commonly up to six) may be kept as accessory animals in some residential districts provided coops are set back from property lines and roosters are prohibited. HOAs in Anthem, Inspirada, MacDonald Highlands, Cadence, and Green Valley Ranch typically ban all poultry and livestock regardless of city zoning. Nevada state brand inspection under NRS 565 applies to cattle and horses moved off-property. Residents pursuing backyard chickens should check both the Henderson zoning letter for their parcel and HOA CC and Rs.
Unauthorized livestock is a zoning violation under HMC Title 19: notices, daily fines, and mandatory animal removal.
