Summary
In unincorporated Clark County, a home occupation generally cannot receive on-site clients or customers at all: the Unified Development Code allows only one single-station salon/barbershop client, one student, or a narrow Nonurban Area exception with a Zoning Compliance permit.
On-site clients, customers, or nonresident employees are not permissible, except as follows.
(1) One client or customer of a single-station salon/barbershop.
(2) No more than 1 student.
(3) In the Nonurban Area, employees, customers, or clients shall only be allowed with approval of a Zoning Compliance application, as described in �30.06.08G, which shall include letters of consent from all property owners within a 300-foot radius of the property hosting the home occupation.
(d) The following commercial activities are prohibited:
(1) Adult business;
(2) Escort bureau;

Full Breakdown
Title 30's home occupation standards default to no walk-in business: Clark County Code Section 30.03.03(A)(13) bars on-site clients, customers, or nonresident employees for any home-based business operating in a residential zoning district. The only carve-outs are a single client of a single-station salon or barbershop, no more than one student at a time, or, solely in the designated Nonurban Area, customers or employees approved through a Zoning Compliance application that includes written consent from every property owner within 300 feet. Outside those exceptions, a home business must operate without in-person customer visits, and any receipt of products beyond normal delivery is also barred.
Violations & Fines
Hosting walk-in clients or customers beyond these exceptions puts the home occupation outside its permitted standards and exposes it to a Code Enforcement zoning violation, since Section 30.03.03 makes on-site customers impermissible by default.
