Large livestock like horses, cattle, goats, and sheep are restricted to agricultural and rural-residential zones in North Las Vegas with minimum acreage requirements.
North Las Vegas restricts large livestock (horses, cattle, goats, sheep, swine, llamas) to agricultural (A) and rural-residential (R-E or R-A equivalent) zoning districts. Minimum lot sizes typically begin at a half acre for small livestock and increase for horses and cattle. NLVMC Title 6 Animals and Title 17 Zoning regulate permitted species, head counts, setback requirements from neighboring dwellings (commonly 25 to 50 feet for pens and corrals), and manure management. Standard residential neighborhoods in Aliante, Eldorado, Centennial Hills, Losee, and Cheyenne area R-1 zones do not permit livestock. NRS Chapter 569 covers estray livestock. NRS Chapter 574 governs animal cruelty and inspection. The Nevada Department of Agriculture regulates brand inspection under NRS 564. HOA CC and R rules under NRS 116 uniformly ban livestock in master-planned communities. Swine are generally prohibited citywide except on select agricultural parcels.
