Henderson abates nuisance wildlife feeding under HMC 7.04. Nevada NRS 503.575 lets NDOW regulate feeding of big game. Feeding coyotes, bobcats, or bighorn sheep is strongly discouraged at the desert interface.
HMC Chapter 7.04 allows code enforcement to abate conditions that attract nuisance wildlife, including uncovered food, unsecured trash, and intentional feeding that creates public safety hazards. Henderson borders the McCullough Range and Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area, so desert bighorn sheep, coyotes, bobcats, and Gambel quail regularly enter neighborhoods like Anthem, Inspirada, MacDonald Highlands, and Seven Hills. Nevada NRS 503.575 gives the Nevada Department of Wildlife authority to prohibit feeding of big game mammals, and NDOW actively discourages feeding of coyotes, which habituate quickly and have attacked pets in Green Valley and Whitney Ranch. Songbird and hummingbird feeders remain legal if kept clean and out of reach of larger mammals. Residents should secure trash in animal-resistant containers on collection day and remove fallen fruit from yards.
Nuisance feeding abatement under HMC 7.04 may include warnings, citations, and fines. NDOW can issue citations under NRS 503.575 for feeding big game.
