Tree removal permit rules in Clark County, NV — sometimes called heritage tree, protected tree, or street tree ordinances — list which trees require a permit before you can cut them down.
Clark County has no heritage tree ordinance or specific tree removal permit. Existing mature tree preservation is encouraged but not mandated for single-family residential. Commercial redevelopment may get reduced tree ratios for preservation.
Clark County Title 30 does not include a heritage tree ordinance or specific tree removal permit for private residential property. Property owners generally have the right to remove trees on their own land. Existing mature tree preservation is 'encouraged' but not mandated for single-family residential development. On commercial redevelopment, preserving large canopy trees can reduce required tree replacement ratios — an incentive rather than mandate. Trees in public rights-of-way and parks are county property and require permission. The desert climate limits native tree species. SNWA offers $100 per tree rebate for approved shade trees added during turf removal projects. Dead or hazardous trees should be removed promptly. Trees near power lines should be reported to NV Energy. HOA communities may restrict tree removal in CC&Rs.
Removing county trees: citation and restitution. Hazardous tree negligence: owner liability. HOA violations: fines per CC&Rs.
