In unincorporated Clark County you may keep an RV or boat on your own property, but only one boat/personal-watercraft trailer may sit in a front or side setback in urban residential districts; a second must go in the rear yard or a fully enclosed building.
Clark County Code (CCC) 9.24.010(2)(e) limits front/side-yard storage of watercraft: 'Not more than one (1) boat or one (1) trailer containing personal watercraft ... may be parked or stored within the required front or side yard zoning setback ... In all urban residential districts, the parking or storage of the second or subsequent boat or trailer ... is limited to the rear yard only. This restriction shall not apply to the storage of a boat in a fully enclosed building.' Boats with holes or damage that would substantially impair safe operation can be treated as inoperable-vehicle nuisances after 30 days. On-street RV parking is separately restricted (see overnight/street rules).
Nuisance code enforcement; property owner is notified and given time (typically ~30 days) to correct before penalties or abatement.
