North Las Vegas requires residential vehicles to be parked on paved driveways with all tires inflated under NLVMC 10.48.100. Parking on dirt or lawn is prohibited.
NLVMC Chapter 10.48 (Stopping, Standing or Parking Generally), specifically Section 10.48.100 (Storage and Repair of Vehicles in Residential Zoning Districts), requires any motor vehicle stored or repaired in the front yard of a property in a residential R-prefix zoning district to be on the driveway and resting on all inflated vehicular tires. The driveway must be paved with concrete, asphaltic concrete, or other permitted hard surfaces designed to prevent dust hazards, reflecting Clark County DAQ PM10 priorities. Parking on dirt, gravel landscaping, or lawn front yards is prohibited. Unregistered, abandoned, junked, or dismantled vehicles cannot be stored in front yards. Boat, RV, and trailer parking often requires screening or enclosed storage per the same chapter. HOA CC and R rules under NRS 116 commonly impose stricter driveway rules including overnight parking bans on grass or unpaved areas. Violations are handled by Code Enforcement with citations typically starting with a notice and correction period.
