Boulder City requires a city business license for all home-based businesses plus the Nevada state business license under NRS 76. Home occupation approval is processed through Community Development.
Any person operating a home-based business in Boulder City must obtain a Boulder City business license from the Finance Department and a Nevada state business license under NRS 76. Home occupation review is conducted by Community Development to confirm Title 11 zoning compliance: residential appearance, no exterior signage, limited customer traffic, no hazardous operations, and no stock storage beyond allowed limits. Renewal is typically annual and tied to city business license renewal. Certain professions (contractors, daycare, cosmetology, food) require additional state licensing. Violations can result in license denial or revocation. Boulder City (702) 293-9200 can direct applicants to the correct department.
Operating without a license can result in fines, back-tax assessments, and referral to code enforcement.
