Unincorporated Clark County heavily restricts client visits to home occupations under Title 30. The rule of thumb is that a home business cannot generate traffic beyond what is typical for a single-family residence.
Clark County Code Title 30 (Unified Development Code) requires that home occupations not generate vehicular or pedestrian traffic that is out of character with the residential neighborhood. In practice, Clark County Business License and Comprehensive Planning staff interpret this as no more than a handful of client visits per day, spaced out, and by appointment only. Drop-in customers are not allowed. No commercial deliveries beyond standard residential mail and parcel service are permitted. Clients cannot park on the street in a manner that causes congestion, and home occupations that require dedicated customer parking generally cannot be approved. Uses that inherently attract traffic like retail sales, hair and nail salons with walk-ins, tax preparation offices during filing season, group music lessons, and group tutoring with many simultaneous clients are typically denied or required to operate from commercial zoning. Music teachers, individual therapists, piano instructors, and one-on-one tutors generally meet the standard because visits are spaced, appointment-based, and non-overlapping. Master-planned communities and HOAs across Summerlin, Enterprise, and Mountains Edge frequently prohibit any client visits to home businesses through CC and Rs.
Excess customer traffic: Title 30 citation with administrative fines plus possible home occupation permit revocation. Neighbor complaints about parking and congestion are the most common trigger for enforcement. Escalated cases can lead to business license suspension.
