Henderson FAQ
Can I own multiple STRs in Henderson?
No. The city limits each owner to one STR permit within Henderson city limits to prevent commercial operators from dominating neighborhoods.
Do I need to collect lodging tax?
Yes. Clark County Transient Lodging Tax (about 13.38 percent) must be collected from every guest and remitted monthly. Airbnb collects this automatically; direct bookings require manual remittance.
Las Vegas FAQ
Can I list on Airbnb without a Las Vegas STR license?
No. Operating without the LVMC 6.75 license is a violation with fines that escalate rapidly. Platforms are required to verify license numbers.
Does the 660-foot separation block my rental?
If a licensed STR exists within 660 feet already, a new license cannot be issued in that location. Check the city's STR map before applying.
Can HOAs still ban STRs under state law?
Yes. AB 363 does not override HOA CC&Rs. A community with a valid no-STR covenant can enforce it independent of the city license.
