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 amplified music & events rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Amplified sound in unincorporated Clark County is capped at 47 dB day and 37 dB night in residential zones at 1000 Hz. The Gaming Enterprise District (Strip) is fully exempt. Special events need a permit.
Clark County Code Title 30 Section 30.68.020 sets octave-band decibel caps measured at the property line: residential zones allow 47 dB during the day and 37 dB at night at the 1000 Hz reference frequency. Amplified music at backyard parties, pool events, or outdoor weddings in communities like Paradise, Spring Valley, and Enterprise must stay below those levels. The code permits a 10 dB exceedance for a single period not longer than 15 minutes per day. The Gaming Enterprise District bounded roughly by Sahara Avenue, St Rose Parkway, Koval Lane, and Cameron Street is FULLY exempt from noise and vibration standards, which is why nightclubs, pool parties, and outdoor concerts on the Strip can project high amplified sound levels legally. Outside the Gaming Enterprise District, commercial venues use Title 14 Section 14.55.020 nuisance review and may require a Special Event Permit through the Clark County Department of Business License to authorize amplified entertainment. Alarms, emergencies, and permitted events are exempt.
Amplified music exceeding dB limits: Title 30 citation. Nuisance complaint: Title 14 Section 14.55.020. Event without permit: business license violation.
