Unincorporated Clark County allows home occupations in most residential zones under Title 30, but limits them to low-impact activities that keep the dwelling residential in character.
Clark County Code Title 30 (Unified Development Code) administered by the Department of Comprehensive Planning permits home occupations as an accessory use in R-E, R-D, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, R-5, and most planned development zones across unincorporated areas including Paradise, Spring Valley, Enterprise, Winchester, Sunrise Manor, and Summerlin South. The business must be clearly secondary and incidental to the residential use. The operator must live in the dwelling. No more than one non-resident employee is permitted on site. No commodity stock-in-trade may be sold on premises except items produced by the occupation. No outdoor storage of equipment, materials, or products is allowed. The activity cannot produce noise, vibration, glare, fumes, odors, or electrical interference detectable beyond the property line. Certain uses are flatly prohibited including auto repair, welding, kennels, mortuaries, adult businesses, medical clinics, retail sales requiring customer visits, and any use classified as commercial or industrial under Title 30. Tutoring, bookkeeping, remote tech work, writing, consulting, and online sales are generally compliant. Bed-and-breakfasts, short-term rentals, and daycare are regulated under separate sections of Title 30.
Operating a prohibited use from home: Title 30 citation with administrative fines starting around 100 dollars and escalating on repeat. Outdoor storage or excess employees: code enforcement order to abate. Continued non-compliance may trigger business license revocation and court injunction.
