Henderson FAQ

How much tax do I collect on a Henderson STR stay?

13.38% Clark County TOT plus 8.375% state sales tax on bundled services. Airbnb collects TOT automatically on most bookings.

Do I still need a Henderson city business license?

Yes. Clark County TOT collection does not replace the Henderson STR permit and business license requirements.

Las Vegas FAQ

How much does a Las Vegas STR license cost?

The annual Short-Term Residential Rental business license fee under LVMC Chapter 6.75 is $500 per year, charged on top of the non-refundable Conditional Use Verification (CUV) application fee paid to the Department of Planning. The license must be renewed each year and lapses immediately if not renewed, exposing the operator to the city's $1,000 to $10,000 per-violation civil penalty schedule for unlicensed operation.

What taxes do I have to collect on a Las Vegas Airbnb booking?

Every short-term rental booking is subject to the Clark County Transient Lodging Tax: 13.38% for properties inside the Primary Gaming Corridor and 13.00% outside it. The tax is administered by the Clark County Department of Business License under NRS 244A. Airbnb and Vrbo collect and remit the tax for bookings on their platforms; hosts are responsible for verifying coverage and remitting tax on direct bookings or other platforms.

Do I owe Nevada state sales tax on STR bookings?

Lodging stays under 31 days in Clark County are subject to the county transient lodging tax rather than the state retail sales tax, but operators selling related taxable goods or services (e.g., resale of supplies) may need a state Sales/Use Tax permit from the Nevada Department of Taxation. Operators with payroll above the Nevada Modified Business Tax threshold may also owe MBT. Consult the Nevada Department of Taxation for entity-specific obligations.
