The Short Version

Clark County prohibits parking or storing RVs and trailers on residential streets. On private property, RVs must be parked on approved surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, or pavers. Storage of more than 3 recreational vehicles on a property is prohibited. Motor homes and trailers cannot be connected to residential utilities or used as living quarters outside of designated RV parks. Front-yard parking requires an approved driveway extending the full length and width of the vehicle.

Full Breakdown

Clark County strictly regulates the parking and storage of recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers on both public streets and private residential property. Standing, parking, or storing a trailer or recreational vehicle on a residential street is prohibited and enforced by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the Constable's Office, and the Clark County Public Response Office.

On private property, RVs and trailers stored in the front yard must be parked on an approved driveway surface — concrete, asphalt, or two-inch pavers — that extends the full length and width of the vehicle. In R-A (Rural Residential) and R-E (Residential Estates) zoning districts, a surface of decomposed granite at least two inches thick with defined borders is also acceptable. Properties zoned R-A, R-E, R-D, or R-1 may use paver blocks of uniform appearance (at least 2 inches thick), concrete, asphalt, gravel, or chat.

In the side yard, RVs and trailers must be obscured from view by a six-foot high fence that permanently screens them, or placed on an approved driveway surface. No more than three recreational vehicles or travel trailers may be stored on any residential property.

Occupation of an RV or motor home is prohibited unless the vehicle is located inside a licensed recreational vehicle park. RVs cannot be connected to residential utilities (water, sewer, electrical) for living purposes, regardless of whether they are parked in the front or rear yard.

What Happens If You Violate This?

Violations of RV parking regulations are enforced by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the Constable's Office, and Clark County Code Enforcement. Violators may receive citations, have the vehicle towed, or have a registration hold placed with the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles. Code Enforcement addresses violations through inspection, notices, and escalating penalties including administrative citations and civil fines.
