Showing ordinances that apply to Cal-Nev-Ari, NV
Cal-Nev-Ari is an unincorporated community (population 144) in Clark County, Nevada. Because Cal-Nev-Ari is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Clark County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The weed ordinances rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Clark County enforces weed abatement under Title 10.30 plus Regulation 41 dust control. Tumbleweeds and cheatgrass over 6 inches are cited quickly; dust from lots over 5,000 sq ft needs a Dust Control Permit.
Clark County Code Title 10 Chapter 10.30 targets noxious weeds and tumbleweed accumulation at any height that presents a fire or pest hazard, with a general residential threshold of 6 inches. Russian thistle (tumbleweed), puncture vine (goathead), cheatgrass, and Sahara mustard are specifically listed as noxious species and must be removed before they go to seed. Vacant lots over half an acre are inspected seasonally by Code Enforcement and typically abated annually. Beyond weed height, Clark County Department of Environment and Sustainability Regulation 41 (Air Quality) requires any disturbed surface over 5,000 square feet (roughly a single-family lot) to obtain a Dust Control Permit if grading, blading, or weed abatement would generate PM-10 fugitive dust. This is a long-standing rule because the Las Vegas Valley is a federal PM-10 nonattainment area. Residential abatement of small yards generally falls under a permit exemption, but tractor disking or large-scale clearing requires a permit, approved dust control plan, water trucks, and soil stabilizers. Fines for unpermitted dust can reach 10,000 dollars per day and are separate from Title 10 weed citations.
Noxious weeds seeding: Title 10.30 immediate abatement. Disking without Dust Permit: Regulation 41 fine up to 10,000 dollars per day. Repeat vacant lot owner: escalating administrative penalties.
