No. The city limits each owner to one STR permit within Henderson city limits to prevent commercial operators from dominating neighborhoods.

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.
