Outdoor burning rules in Clark County, NV β also called the burn ban, open burning, or fire restriction ordinance β set when you can burn yard waste, debris, or run a recreational fire.
Open burning is prohibited in the Las Vegas Valley PM-10 nonattainment area under Clark County Air Quality Reg 52 and NRS 472.040. Limited ag or ceremonial burning needs permits from DES and Fire.
Open burning is effectively banned across the urbanized Las Vegas Valley under Clark County Department of Environment and Sustainability (DES) Air Quality Regulation 52 because the valley is a PM-10 nonattainment area under the federal Clean Air Act. This prohibition covers yard waste burning, trash fires, construction debris, and land-clearing burns in Paradise, Spring Valley, Sunrise Manor, Enterprise, Whitney, Winchester, and Summerlin South. Recreational small fires for cooking or warmth in permanent permitted pits or patented portable appliances are treated separately under Title 13 fire rules and are addressed in the dedicated fire-pit subcategory. Agricultural burning for qualifying operations outside the urban area, ceremonial fires, and hazard-reduction burns require advance written permits from both Clark County DES Air Quality and Clark County Fire, and are subject to daily smoke-management approval β most days are declared no-burn due to inversion conditions. NRS 472.040 authorizes the State Fire Marshal and local fire authorities to prohibit open burning during elevated wildfire conditions anywhere in Nevada. Permits are never issued during red-flag warnings. Burn barrels are illegal. Violations carry air quality penalties up to $10,000 per day under Regulation 52 enforcement.
Open burn in PM-10 area: Regulation 52 penalty up to $10,000/day. Unpermitted burn: NRS 472.040 misdemeanor. Red-flag burn: enhanced fine.
