Registration Rules: Las Vegas vs North Las Vegas

How do I register a short-term rental in Las Vegas?

Registration under LVMC Chapter 6.75 is a two-stage process. First, file a Conditional Use Verification (CUV) through the Citizen Portal at lasvegasnevada.gov/dashboard under Planning and Zoning; the CUV is reviewed by Planning, requires a home inspection by Code Enforcement, and returns to Planning for a second review. After CUV approval, apply for the $500 annual Short-Term Residential Rental Business License through Business Licensing.

How often do I have to renew my Las Vegas STR registration?

Both the CUV and the Business License must be renewed every year under LVMC Chapter 6.75. Renewal re-verifies the primary-residence requirement, the 660-foot separation from other licensed STRs, the 2,500-foot resort-corridor buffer, the $500,000 liability insurance minimum, and the 24-hour responsible-party contact. Lapsed registrations expose the operator to the city's per-day unlicensed-operation fines of $500 (first offense) and $1,000 (repeat within twelve months).

What documents does Las Vegas require for STR registration?

The application package under LVMC Chapter 6.75 requires: Nevada government ID showing the rental address as the applicant's primary residence, proof of at least $500,000 per occurrence in liability insurance, a 24-hour responsible-party contact, a floor plan or bedroom count establishing three bedrooms or fewer, Clark County Transient Lodging Tax registration, and confirmation that the site satisfies both the 660-foot STR-to-STR separation and the 2,500-foot resort-corridor buffer.

What do I need to register an STR in North Las Vegas?

A Conditional Use Permit first, then a business license. You must show owner occupancy, 3 or fewer bedrooms, 660-foot separation, 500,000 dollars liability insurance, and a local responsible party.

Can I register an STR in an apartment?

No. North Las Vegas prohibits STRs in apartment buildings and caps them at 10 percent of units in multifamily structures. Most registered properties are single-family homes.
