Clark County Title 30 sets outdoor lighting standards for new development including illumination limits at property lines, full-cutoff fixture requirements for commercial properties, and shielding of residential security lights to avoid light trespass on neighbors.
Title 30 Chapter 30.56 (Site Development Standards) and 30.68 (Site Environmental Standards) regulate outdoor lighting. Commercial and multi-family lighting must use full-cutoff or fully shielded fixtures that direct light downward. Maximum illumination at the property line of a residential zoning district is typically limited to 0.5 footcandles. Residential security lights must be shielded so that direct light does not spill onto adjacent residential property; floodlights aimed at neighbor windows are a code violation enforceable as a Title 11 nuisance. The Las Vegas Strip is exempt from many of these provisions under the resort corridor designation — the Strip itself is one of the most light-polluted square miles on Earth. Holiday lighting is permitted on residential property typically from November 1 through January 31. Clark County does not yet have a Dark Sky ordinance similar to those in Flagstaff or Tucson, though Mount Charleston (the unincorporated town adjacent) has stricter standards near the observatory.
Misdemeanor under §1.08.010. Code Enforcement responds to light-trespass complaints on neighbor properties; commercial lighting violations are typically caught at permit inspection.
