Wildlife rehabilitation in Henderson requires a Nevada Department of Wildlife rehabilitation permit under NRS 503 and NAC 503 rather than a city permit, with Henderson HMC Title 6 deferring to NDOW on protected and game species.
Rehabilitating injured or orphaned wildlife in Henderson is regulated by the Nevada Department of Wildlife under NRS 503 and the corresponding administrative code, not by Henderson HMC. Rehabilitators must obtain a state permit, demonstrate facility adequacy, and pass species-specific knowledge requirements. Federally protected migratory birds also require a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service permit. Henderson HMC Title 6 prohibits keeping wildlife as pets and refers calls about injured animals to NDOW or partner rescues. Residents should not attempt to handle bats, raptors, or large mammals; instead, contact Animal Care or NDOW dispatch for guidance. Rescue facilities zoning falls under Title 19 conditional use review.
Possessing protected wildlife without an NDOW permit can result in NRS 503 misdemeanor charges, fines, and animal seizure. Federal migratory bird violations carry separate civil and criminal penalties.
